Plastmasmens is kept in the latest traditions of Very Cool People\u2019s sound \u2013 in the mood of soul and bass system shattering electro-funk with the easily perceptible presence of Latvian party folk song tradition.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/68UkvWwsi5xZ6WOgXNaGOg?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The band emphasizes that the main thing is not to become plastic yourself and to follow your heart, not to measure all activities only by the yardstick of stylishness and popular brands. \u201cTrends will change, but everyone will just have to live on with the choices they have made\u201d, the band\u2019s leader, guitarist Elvijs Grafcovs, conducts anti-plastic training. \u201cThe same applies to shopping, so with Plastmasmens we offer to think whether the feeling of human happiness is really found in expensive things \u2013 smartphones, tablets, handbags, sneakers, clothes and leased cars? Maybe it\u2019s better to spend the rest of the money on a trip or other self-education, not letting Plastic Man always win\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The new single is also a hint in the direction of modern art and music, because free creativity is often replaced by the pursuit of quick popularity and profit, borrowing already tested ideas from what is currently in fashion, which in the long term will most likely fade away and soon even be replaced by the perfectly mediocre production of artificial intelligence. \u201cArtists have to create new emotions, only then at least several thousand of the eight billion listeners in the world will be able to really connect with it\u201d, sums up Elvijs.<\/p>\n<p>A video was also made for the new single, in which several directors visually expressed an ironic view of what is happening around us \u2013 pollution, plastic in food, excessive passion for nutritional supplements, pieces of plastic in human relationships, when people sit at the table with gadgets in their hands or do not take their eyes off the TV screen&#8230; The visual stories included in the new video were created by Rimants Ir\u017eikevi\u010ds, Valdis Kr\u016bmi\u0146\u0161, Arvis Belovs, Oskars Ozoli\u0146\u0161 and Madara Dzintara Plu\u0161a.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JmOIhoYsEhg?si=jVNpMPsRxts3c245\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The authors of the song are Elvijs Graftsovs, J\u0101nis Kalve, M\u0101ris J\u0113kabsons and Laura Rozenberga. The rhythmic narrator, vocalist and trombonist Laura Rozenberga, vocalist Paula Saija, guitarist Elvijs Grafcovs, tenor saxophonist M\u0101ris J\u0113kabsons, baritone saxophonist Kristaps Lubovs, trumpeter Oskars Ozoli\u0146\u0161, keyboardist M\u0101ris Vitkus, bassist J\u0101nis Olek\u0161s and drummer Andris Bui\u0137is, as well as synthesizer player Andris Kauli\u0146\u0161 participated in the recording.<\/p>\n<p>So far, two more harbingers of the new album have been released \u2013 the summery naughty single Rik\u0161iem (In Trot) and the autumnal criminal-philosophical Ko tu v\u0113l gaidi? (What Are You Waiting For?). The new single Plastmasmens can already be heard on the most popular music streaming services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very Cool People continue to approach their most explosive album to date with the release of their third single, Plastmasmens (Plastic Man), which is both a powerful party hit and a thought-provoking song about ecological issues.
