Soft Plastics’ incredibly textured and captivating debut album, 5 Dreams is the latest release from Carey Mercer, former leader of celebrated West coast group Frog Eyes. Written by Mercer in the fall and winter of 2018 – 2019, mere months after the dissolution of Frog Eyes, the influences on 5 Dreams are post-punk, new wave, mariachi, new-wave mariachi, dub, hip hop, goth-rock, taking cues and according gobs of respect to Blixa Bargeld, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Talk Talk, Happy Mondays—all rung through the grime of a northern port city. Mercer says: “The songs aren’t tied to a cohesive theme, but they do exist in a land that is deeply wet, dark, flooded—occasionally a gilded sun-beam comes out of nowhere and the song just stops and stares in bloody awe at what we are given, what we might see.”
