Words: Sam Geary
Plastic Mermaids follow up recent singles revealed from their forthcoming debut album ‘1996’ and the psychedelic-pop ‘Floating in a Vacuum’, with new single ‘I Still Like Kelis’.
With the self-produced ‘Suddenly Everyone Explodes’ out on May 24 via Sunday Best Recordings, the Isle of Wight-based group drop the new hazy indie-pop number, full of crunchy guitars and distorted synths, along with a video.
‘I’m not sure how I let myself get sucked into the idea of stop motion again," says the Mermaids' Doug Richards. "The video took bloody AGES to make but I guess I enjoyed it, there’s something quite meditative about sitting down for 4 hours and pushing about a piece of clay it’s just a bit demoralising when you realise you’ve only shot 14 seconds."
Watch the video for 'I Still Like Kelis' below.
