Wellington, New Zealand shoegaze/alt/garage pop band Soft Plastics have aired the video for their brand new single "Day Job".
Soft Plastics, made up of Sophie Scott-Maunder (she/her), Jonathan Shirley (he/him), and Laura Robinson (she/her), their music takes influence from 90s shoegaze, and 2010's alt-rock. Offering a masterclass in converting fuzz, noise and reverb into nostalgic garage pop hooks.
'Day Job' perfectly encapsulates the tense frustration of succumbing to the nine-to-five system and leaves plenty of room for a little tongue-and-cheek. The video, directed by Stella Reid, reinforces the idea that it all shouldn't be taken too seriously.
“The song is ripe for comedy, and thankfully Soft Plastics had the same lightbulb idea I did - let's see someone with an utterly thrilling job who is just as bored of it as we are of ours. An assassin still has to get up in the morning, and they probably have paperwork. Or time allocated to disposing of paperwork probably. Either way, It'd be a unique watch to see the ins and outs of somebody with an adrenaline filled job." says Stella.
