The track is from their forthcoming sophomore album It’s Not Comfortable to Grow
Isle Of Wight five-piece Plastic Mermaids have been gaining plaudits for a while now thanks to their inventive and thoughtful sounds and concepts, and with their second full length It’s Not Comfortable to Grow set for release in September, a new era for the outfit is sure to inspire a raft of exciting new ideas and surprises, as evidenced by the incredible ‘Disco Wings‘ released late last year.
The latest track from this new release is the sauntering ‘Disposable Love’, an oddly melancholic and nostalgic release that manages to feel both uplifting and rousing but with an undertone of sadness and longing. There is such a familiarity within the sound but it also manages to feel wholly and distinctively Plastic Mermaids, not weighed down or compromised by their desire to craft sounds in weird and wonderful ways, but rather enriched by the unique flavour and emotion that it seems to provide their work with.
The track is one of the album’s moments that finds frontman and lyricist Douglas Richards exploring moments of passing relief, as he explains “it’s about wanting to get back to a younger place, a freer place; a feeling of not having much worth, but being nostalgic for that.”
