It’s been almost a year and a half since I posted about Plushgun for New Band Day. Since then, Dan Ingala and friends have been signed to Tommy Boy Records, released two EPs and their debut album (Pins & Panzers released last month), and had their music featured on both TV and film soundtracks. Good for them – nothing makes me happier than to see a truly deserving musician or band meet with success.
It’s a rare thing to find music that is stunningly beautiful and makes you dance at the same time. Being in a rather sleepy/blah mood today, I’m surprised to find myself semi-dancing in my seat (or sitting on the floor, as it happens) along to Pins & Panzers. And though it’s been almost a year and a half since I first heard “Just Impolite”, I’m still not even close to getting over how lovely it is. The whole album is simply a pleasure to listen to – it feels like the (retrospective) freedom of high school, staring out the window at the rain, and a summertime party with friends all wrapped up in a loving blanket of electronic pop.
Enjoy one of my favorites from Plushgun’s debut album below, get Pins & Panzers right now from emusic, or visit PlushSpace to hear more.
