Micra glide over choppy seas with pensive new track "Plastic"
Sydney duo Micra blend ghostly dream pop with atmospheric distortion on immersive debut track "Plastic".
Micra came together after vocalist Ivana Kay met multi-instrumentalist Robbie Cain at an Unknown Mortal Orchestra gig.
Kay's vocals hold a wistful tone; angelic, yet delivered with a hint of melancholy. Placed over a chugging synth melody, "Plastic" glides over the crashing the waves like a helicopter, distancing itself from the shore to be engulfed by the endless depths of the ocean.
"Plastic" is both eerie and tender, finding a tense sound that feels as if nature and technology have locked horns.
Teamed with a foreboding and distorted rumbling guitar, "Plastic" bounces between a sense of uncertainly and acceptance, drifting gracefully into the horizon.
Speaking about their debut offering, Micra explain, "‘Plastic’ was the original piece of music I sent to Ivana as a demo over email, convincing her to work on music with me. We tracked the initial vocals in our friend’s basement after meeting in a cafe for the second time.”
"Plastic" is produced by the Sydney-based duo and James Christowski.
