Plastic People - Good As You (2010)
/New rave, Post-punk, Art-punk, Dance punk, Alternative pop, Gothic, Electro-rock/
Comment: Today the frenchman Sèbastien Ficagna aka Plastic People just released the sophomore album Pink Narcissus. His first release Good As You takes on electro-rock, dance punk, post-punk, dark pop, art-punk sounds (some symphonic progressions, some whimsical synth burblings, treated effect-loaded appearances, cabaret-alike undercurrents), however, paying mostly tribute either to the British post-punk/gothic rock groups like The Cure, and Bauhaus through those bouncing dynamical bass guitars and rigidly stomping drum sections or the nowadays new rave sounds through its snooty approach though sounding even a little interesting than contemporary comrades like The Klaxons, and !!!, for instance.
