Shark – The Plastics Release Their Debut Album.
Saturday the 31st of July sees The Plastics release their highly anticipated debut full length album Shark. Produced by award winning international producer Gordon Raphael, Shark has been a year in the making and has seen The Plastics experimenting with their own creative processes and discover different sounds, styles and production and recording techniques.
“It’s come out as a collection of music that is difficult to place in any particular time period, but as a whole, it feels like music from an era gone by that’s breaking into the 21st century.” says bassist Karl Rohloff.
In January 2010 The Plastics flew in Raphael from Berlin and recorded the album at Sound & Motion Studios in Cape Town: “We’ve been lucky enough to have the expertise and top-class environment of Sound and Motion Studios to make our ideas come to life. Fuzzy and the guys have been really awesome and have contributed in a big way towards the end product.” says Rohloff.
“Working with Gordon was almost surreal. The fact that he agreed to come all the way down to the bottom of the world and work with us, speaks hugely of Gordon’s desire for discovering new challenges.
Shark will be launched at The Assembly in Cape Town this Saturday, 31 July. The line-up includes Captain Stu, Holiday Murray, DJ Haasbroek and DJ Lapse. Doors open at 21h00 and tickets are R50 at the door, or R40 presold at Webtickets.
