Plastic Mermaids reveal cinematic heart stopper "Beyond The Cosmos After Death"

02 June 2016, 16:00 | Written by Laurence Day

Plastic Mermaids are sharing "Beyond The Cosmos After Death", the second taste of their upcoming EP, on Best Fit.

The new single is a sprawling six-and-a-chunk-minute ode from the Isle Of Wight outfit.

Although starting sparsely, the band's new single quickly begins bursting with spaced-out synths and layers of fragile melody as it rattles upwards into a string-led celestial behemoth. "Beyond The Cosmos..." is powerful, cinematic post-rock with dusky pop earworms and straightforward emotion - as it grows from seed to sapling to a mighty, ground-shaking heart stopper, Plastic Mermaids demonstrate their abilities across a broad spectrum of styles.

The Everything Is Yellow And Yellow Is My Least Favourite Colour EP is released via Cross Keys. It's the final portion of an EP trilogy.
