Minneapolis' Plastic Constellations bring forth the rock and don't try to hide it. Blending the sounds of Les Savy Fav, At The Drive-In, and adding a little hip-hop panache, the band has the technical prowess to make you forget you are too cool to dance.
"As the dawn of the 21st century came along, prog had been applied to various forms of punk and metal-minded bands such as Neurosis blew minds away with their sludgy jazz metal musings, and the short lived, but highly influential, At the Drive-In paved the road for the Mars Volta to wig us all out with their jazzy, sometimes Krautrock-ish, snotty punk frenzy. Now I would like to direct your attention to Minnesota's The Plastic Constellations who, in a nutshell, are like a beer-guzzling, spastic Coheed and Cambria with more cojones." - Treble Zine
The music is the heavy for indie-rock, and crecendos into infectiously catchy super huge choruses.
"Fusing the technicality and urgency of Burning Airlines with the free-spirited unpredictibailty of Modest Mouse, Crusades walks a delicate balance with the grace of an Olympic gymnsnast. The wobbly, angular melodies, splintered percussive accents, casual-yet-concise dynamics and toasty sonic ambience are all purposefully designed and neatly integrated here." - Alternative Press
The latest album from Plastic Constellations, Crusades, is out now on Frenchkiss Records.
