Chicago trio French Inhaler have unveiled 'Plastic Ocean', a new single that pairs shimmering synth-pop with a thoughtful reflection on environmental change and modern disconnection.
Drawing influence from the golden era of post-punk and new wave, the track layers atmospheric synthesisers, melodic basslines and propulsive rhythms into a sound that feels equally indebted to the past and firmly rooted in the present. While its polished production and memorable hooks recall the genre's classic pioneers, 'Plastic Ocean' approaches contemporary concerns through an accessible, melodic lens.
With their latest offering, French Inhaler continue to refine their distinctive blend of synth-driven indie-pop, offering a compelling addition to the current resurgence of electronic guitar music.
