Next week Plaster Cast is announcing their new EP Control, which is set for an August 12th release. It follows the release of Performance in 2016 on Zoom Lens, which made its way to the likes of Gorilla Vs Bear, The Fader, Vice and more.

The new EP expands the sound, becoming both a version of timeless pop for lone bedroom sessions or anthemic festival choruses, akin to peers like Chromatics, girl in red, and Yumi Zouma. An intersection of warmth and isolation conveys Plaster Cast’s desire to acknowledge their own literal and symbolic closeness and distance, each member shaped by their own reality and locations (LA, NYC, Pacific Northwest, Midwest) and bringing it to a common forefront.

They are releasing the title track “Control” next Tuesday — a real Balearic meets bedroom juxtaposition — complete with a fitting video to go along with it.
