My Plastic Sun - We Run From No One

New York's My Plastic Sun have many strings to their Progressive Rock bow, and they pluck each one with just as much finesse as the last. "Give It All Away" was a hauntingly beautiful debut, "Silicon Junkie" showcased their psychedelic side, "Caught In A Wave" hinted at new wave, and now "We Run From No One" takes that anthemic edge, and pulls out all the stops. Now a four-piece, the band's sound is more textured and epic than ever. Lead guitars soar, huge rock band harmonies abound, and the chorus is a behemoth. Covering more musical ground in their 2 years than some establish bands manage in 10, My Plastic Sun are so ahead of the game they don't even need to play it.

NEW & UNHEARD: My Plastic Sun - Falling Awake

Prepare yourself for your heartstrings to be well and truly retugged. Whilst My Plastic Sun's "Give it All Away" was forelorn and heartbreaking, "Falling Awake" is healing, warm and utterly, utterly spellbinding in its beauty. And in particular, it must be mentioned that singer Johnny Cummings' vocals are windswept and content, and his falsetto is shimmering perfection.

The band is working on a full length CD, due Summer 2012 (perfect timing), tentatively titled "Jumping Karma Trains", and judging by their efforts so far, this could be the one to watch.
