Plaster of Paris Shares her charming new single “Danceflaw”

Plaster of Paris have unveiled the towering new single ‘Danceflaw’, the lead track taken from the band’s debut studio LP Lost Familiar, released 23 June 2021 via local label heads Psychic Hysteria.

A pulsing disco-punk anthem laced with pop undertones, contagious riffs, screaming saxophone and earth-shattering vocals, ‘Danceflaw’ is an untethered celebration of the queer spaces, bars and venues that shaped the identities of the band; a song dedicated to everyone who find solace with their chosen family on the dancefloors of the world, and a tribute to the lives lost five-years-ago at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

“We were in LA the night of the Orlando Florida shootings,” the band recently told Trouble Juice. “There was a heavy feeling and the LGBTIQ+ community were quite afraid because we didn’t know if it was a one-off event or part of something more targeted.

“The following morning was LA Pride and shops were closed with notes pinned to the doors in solidarity to the community and mourning the lives lost. We headed to a famous gay bar in West Hollywood to support community businesses who lost out for Pride weekend. We had a drink under a huge rainbow flag and talked about gay bars, nightclubs, and dancefloors as sacred spaces for meeting chosen family [and] to be authentically queer.”

‘Danceflaw’ is the charging opening single to Plaster of Paris’ debut LP Lost Familiar, the long-awaited album in the making.

Smouldering with the band’s frenetic energy, razor-sharp lyricism and a fierce political bent, Lost Familiar is an album seething with intent, an urgent call to arms that addresses the timely themes of body autonomy, queer identity, and climate emergency.

Pags creates a laid-back but calculated approach on new release “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR”

Pags’ latest release, “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is a hip-hop/trap track that puts emphasis on tone, flow and subtle complexity with a laid-back but calculated approach. Rather than providing obvious hooks or lengthy lyrics, the song invites self-engagement.

The relaxed conversational cadence brings an easy rhythm to the song. Pags is clean so every bar comes through naturally. This performance doesn’t need attention, but it does reward it. What’s interesting about “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is the writing.

Some lines are immediate, some deferred. This has gotten a lot of responses which is good for the track. Makes you curious so you listen again to understand. Pags doesn’t like explaining. That choice gives the song a conversational rather than show tone. “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is about the build up and the things that make you want to listen again.

Mark Winters celebrates life’s best moments on new release “All In The Rhythm”

Mark Winters’ new track, “All In The Rhythm,” is a warm and moving folk-pop release that celebrates the quiet truth that life’s best moments often come from staying in step with the people we love. The song has an organic sense of openness and forward motion, inspired by a hike in Zion National Park.

“All In The Rhythm” captures the grounding simplicity of walking, breathing, and sharing meaningful moments with others, with an acoustic guitar and a steady pulse. That pulse-like rhythm is symbolic not just of music, but of connection itself.

The track hits home because of its uplifting honesty. It poses a serious question: what if the search for happiness is not about more, but about movement in harmony with loved ones, with life, with the now? That notion gives the song emotional weight without weighing down its bright spirit.

The folk-pop foundation lends it accessibility and charm. The steady groove propels the song with a reassuring, alive momentum, while acoustic textures add warmth. It’s easy to imagine listeners connecting with its hopeful message, because it speaks to something universal.
