about

The Plastic Device, Long Island’s superannuated new wave/psychedelic/garage rock prodigies, are delighted to announce their first recordings in thirty-five years—the group’s first-ever vinyl release, produced by the legendary Mitch Easter. Seriously F-ING LEGEND!

In the spring of 2019, The Plastic Device convened to play a few New York–area shows in support of E Pluribus Plastic, an archival collection of their vintage work, then hightailed it to Fidelitorium Recordings in Kernersville, North Carolina, for a wild weekend session to render some hitherto-unrealized masterpieces for posterity.

Now, the fruit of this Herculean labor is available to music lovers everywhere: two titanic tunes, written by awkward teenagers and performed by awkward middle-aged men! With magnificent material aged to perfection like fine vintage wine, The Device’s rock-and-roll dream was made a rock-and-roll reality through the technical wizardry and uncanny good taste of producer Mitch Easter (Let’s Active, R.E.M., Game Theory, and so many more; c’mon, you know who Mitch Easter is). Available as an extremely limited edition 7-inch single, “Helen of Troy” will induce overwhelming euphoric love and blow your mind to itsy bitsy pieces. Then “Around the World” will crush those pieces into a fine dust, suspend the dust in a sweetly scented cloud of vapor, and permeate the atmosphere of this fallen planet with an ineffable sense of joy and fulfillment.

Plastic Device New York, New York

Back from the 1980s, from the edge of the galaxy and through the wormhole beneath the sink, The Plastic Device, Long Island’s legendary teenage purveyors of new wave/psychedelic/garage rock mayhem, announce an archival anthology of their antique antics.

Remixed and remastered from the original tapes, E Pluribus Plastic deals in dementia and it’s way too cool to lose! ... more
