Marking the group’s fourth release of the year, ‘PLASTIC ANGELS’ sees The Cunning Linguists back with yet another gritty, electrifying punk anthem. Hailing from Sydney, the Australian outfit features Bart Gill on drums, Jade Easdown on guitar and Clare Easdown on vocals, all contributing to their music in a wide, collaborative manner.
From a sonic standpoint, ‘PLASTIC ANGELS’ is DIY as they come, a slice of pure, unfiltered punk and grunge bonanza steeped in raw, lo-fi production and a live-esque feel. In fact, The Cunning Linguists are rather adamant about the recording process behind the record, having taken place in their rehearsal room and with intentional simplicity. The goal was to replicate the band’s sound: chaotic drums, crunchy guitars and Clare’s anthemic, bold vocals.
Delving deeper into the meaningful and rebellious lyrical ethos that propels the record, The Cunning Linguists explain: “‘PLASTIC ANGELS’ is our commentary on modern-day beauty standards… This release is significant because it provides our take on societal expectations and the ridiculous pressures placed on women. This release is significant because it provides our take on societal expectations and the ridiculous pressures placed on women.” That’s exactly what we appreciate the most about the Aussie group: the fact that their artistry is heavily tied to an ideological purpose.
