“…scorching garage rock with nothing to hide: just pummeling percussion, desperate yowls that recall Jack White before he became Jack White, and a whole lot of scrappy guitar fuzz that should please Black Lips worshipers.”—SPIN
“Ramshackle rock with a retro flair is the best way I can describe it. Yet even with its looseness, it makes quite an impact.”—KCRW
The official music video for Clear Plastic Masks’ new single “So Real” recently premiered at Noisey and can now be viewed/embedded here. The song is from the Nashville-based band’s full-length debut, Being There, which will be released May 27 on Serpents & Snakes Records. Already receiving critical acclaim, KCRW calls the music, “incredible…raucous rock, played loose and scrappy the way only a very talented group of musicians can.”
After recently wrapping a series of dates supporting White Denim (which the LA Record called, “brilliant”) and performing at SXSW (which theAustin Chronicle called, “…with live-wire tenacity and a masterful sense of pacing: slow builds, breakdowns, rave-ups.”), the band will embark on a U.S. tour this spring, including shows supporting Houndmouth and Spanish Gold as well as a series of co-headlining dates with Fly Golden Eagle. The band will also perform with Deer Tick at the Shaky Knees Afterparty on May 9. See below for complete details.
The new album features material from last year’s debut EP including the tracks “Baby, Come On” and “So Real.” Of the EP, The New York Times’ Jon Pareles praises, “The churning, galvanic, righteously messy surge and crash of 1960s rock is their heritage, full of loose ends and live wires; they’ve got firm roots without settling down in the slightest.”
Formed in 2011 in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, CPM relocated to Nashville in 2012 where they recorded their debut album at The Bomb Shelter with Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for The Riff Raff). The 4-piece band is made up of Eddy DuQuesne (bass/keys), Charlie Garmendia (drums), Andrew Katz (guitar/keys/vocal) and Matt Menold (guitar/keys). In addition to CPM, the band-members recently launched a side-project with Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard, entitled Thunderbitch.
