Plastic Act- Now!

Josh Herlihey’s Plastic Act sophomore EP, Now!, struts out of Montreal with a scrappy swagger, blending Velvet Underground’s louche churn with the scruffy jangle of Ork Records’ finest, its three tracks landing like a lost Nuggets cut you swear you’ve loved before. With a Silvertone 1484’s bite, a rogue saxophone’s wail, and a crew of Canadian indie stalwarts like Drew Demers and Chance Hutchison, Herlihey crafts a tight, tuneful blast of ‘70s-nodding rock that’s as much DIY art attack as it is instant earworm.
