Culture for Pigeon

After almost two years, Tracy and the Plastics finally release a new record! Tongues have been hanging out in anticipation for what may be the record of the year. This special release includes a bonus DVD, containing two original full-length films designed to be played with the record. Tracy and the Plastics are an electronic art/new-media punk band conceived and performed by the Lesbian Feminist video artist, Wynne Greenwood. (Greenwood started the band in 1999, while running an underground moviehouse called 'The Murdra,' dedicated to showing independent films and videos by women and queers.) The music on this record is a combination of a stumbling fury of sampled drums, insistent bass loops, and weary keyboard melodies. We get drum sounds sampled from Rachel Carns (King Cobra, The Need), bass grooves and beats from JD Samson (Le Tigre), with vocals recorded at Studio G by Joel Hamilton and Tony Maimone of Pere Ubu.
