After eighteen months of radio silence, Seattle’s indie-math rock quartet Plash exploded back onto the scene this past April. They’ve been absolutely crushing the live circuit, reigniting that devoted local following who’d been waiting… well, let’s just say very patiently.
The band’s gearing up for their late-January album drop. Smart move, really—building that anticipation with strategic single releases.
"i live alone" hits as their sophomore single, and wow. It’s this fascinating blend where indie sensibilities crash into math rock complexity, all wrapped up in years of pent-up creative energy they’ve been dying to unleash.
What really gets me is the vocal approach—Korean and English weaving together so effortlessly it feels natural, not forced. The layers don’t compete; they complement. It’s like listening to a conversation between old friends.
Then there’s the instrumental madness. Plash describes their guitar work as "Weedly guitar, Meedly guitar, BEOWWW guitar, and Hit Guitar"—which honestly? Perfect description. The whole thing bounces around like you’re watching someone absolutely demolish a pinball machine, racking up points left and right.
If this is just single number two, imagine what’s coming next. PNW music scene better buckle up—and honestly, everyone else should too. This one’s special.
