Instead of bearing children, Plastic d’amour deliver records with baby names whenever possible. This is their most striking work to date. Plastic d’amour have conjured up a remarkably fresh, forward-looking sound with a distinctive melodic sensibility and a rich emotive register. “Olivia” also succeeds at capturing a certain feeling of transcendence; it is not pop that relies on kitsch or clichés to get its point across. Songs weave their way through the pros and cons of love, anger, grief, bittersweet days gone past, bucolic and urban settings and moods of the sort that exist in poetry and nouvelle vague.
