Katty, You Know Where I Live

Nobody bought the Plastiscines’ debut, LP1. I’m aware. I still played it constantly—Loser and Mr Driver specifically—and if that had anything to do with being completely gone over frontwoman Katty Besnard, I’m not going to pretend otherwise.

Now they’re back with a new single, Barcelona, and Nylon behind them, and a new look I don’t love as much as the old one. Cleaner, more polished, more aimed at crossing over. Every time a band I like does that I feel personally wronged. I know this is my problem. Je déteste le nouveau style. My French is terrible and my feelings are clear.

Katty. You know where I live.
