Album Review: Plastic Mermaids - "It's Not Comfortable to Grow"

If you're looking for a musical journey that's as unsettling as it is intriguing, Plastic Mermaids' latest album "It's Not Comfortable to Grow" is just the ticket. This eclectic mix of genres and sounds will have you scratching your head one minute and nodding along the next.

The opening track, "Fish Out of Water," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its off-kilter melodies and haunting vocals. It's a bold choice for a lead single, but one that ultimately pays off in spades.

Tracks like "Beneath the Tide" and "Broken Doll" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, from dream pop to psych rock, with ease. The instrumentation is lush and intricate, creating a sonic landscape that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

But it's the album's title track that truly stands out. With its infectious chorus and infectious energy, "It's Not Comfortable to Grow" is a standout moment that will have you hitting repeat before you even realize it.

Overall, Plastic Mermaids have crafted a truly unique listening experience with "It's Not Comfortable to Grow." It may not always be an easy journey, but it's definitely one worth taking. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare for a musical ride like no other.
