PLASTIC+GLUE+LOVE by Split Angel

Submitting to the incredible power of intense, heavy music unlocks this euphoric glow that illuminates everyone in the room, from the musicians to the mosh pit to the sound person. For hardcore punk and electronica artist Split Angel, the generation of this glow serves only as the beginning of their creative process. From there, the band layers sounds that redirect this sublime peace back outward, giving their songs an incredible contrast between their crushingly steady, gritty heaviness and their whimsical noodling and pristine synths. The band’s new record PLASTIC+GLUE+LOVE gives us a nine track salute to the creative liberty afforded by a steady, deafeningly heavy beat, showing us what goes through the minds of musicians in awe at their own propulsive power. For Split Angel, the superficial distraction becomes the perfect vehicle for meditation, allowing the mind to swim freely as the senses struggle under the weight of a blanket of stimulation.
