With a great title and a dynamic, propulsive dark sound, graphic designer Kevin Grady's project, Black Plastic, prepares to put forward his sophomore release, following the acclaimed self-titled debut from 2016. Club Grotesque comes out April 16th, 2021 through Cleopatra Records, and the dark electronica of first single and album closer, Bite, offers some irresistible stimulation for darkwave audiences and beyond.
"Club Grotesque grew out of a genuine sense of darkness and dread in what has been one of the hardest years we've experienced," Kevin Grady comments on the coming album. "Because of that, we doubled down on the beats—sometimes all you can do is dance it all out, even if it's by yourself in your bedroom. It's not goth, but it's definitely dance music for vampires."
Bite features the vocal of synthpop artist André Obin, while the album is a pretty guest-heavy one altogether, with Richard Butler (The Psychedelic Furs), Robert Calvert (Hawkwind) and Jason Corbett (ACTORS) also being parts of Black Plastic's new material.
