Plastic Reverie is all kinds of talented
Up in Boston is a dark quartet, Plastic Reverie, who you know what, just makes good music. They play a genre I don’t typically go for, but what does it for me here is the quality and the musicianship. The lineup is pretty typical rock fare: drums, guitar, keys. A mandolin and synthesizer are thrown… Continue reading Plastic Reverie is all kinds of talented
