| Plastic Barricades - How Goldfish Grow |
Release Date: Out Now
London based trio Plastic
Barricades grabbed my attention with the video for this song which is a nicely
quirky piece of animation but there is a great song behind the visual as well. ‘How
Goldfish Grow’ is a tale of how the environment will impact the size of growth –
from Goldfish, to ego to population – and it’s a tale worth taking heed of. Starting
with a sad yet perky poppy guitar line that is part Vampire Weekend and part
Young Knives, this song immediately grabs your attention before settling in to
a satisfyingly choppy rhythm. “We all should know how goldfish grow” is perhaps
not the most obvious or rock’n’roll lyric but the message is clear and the
video rams it home. There’s a certain Europop charm about this that goes along
with the indie-pop kitsch and it’s actually nice to hear a band creating
something to be enjoyed whilst also listening to some meaningful lyrics.
