Within the swirling creative hub of the Los Angeles music scene emerges plaster 0f paris, the solo avatar of musician Tony Bevilacqua. Known for his punk lineage with The Distillers, Tony’s musical journey has seen him collaborate with the likes of Cold Showers, KÁRYYN, and Ross Farrar or Ceremony. plaster 0f Paris began as a minimalist experiment but has since evolved, crystallizing with their latest EP, less today.
The project finds its form under Chris King’s meticulous production and features the ethereal vocals of Chelsey Boy on the track “Nurse.” The EP’s sound is a love letter to the washed-out vocals and layered guitars of the ’90s, echoing the reverberations of Pixies, The Dandy Warhols, and Slowdive.
The journey begins with the title track, a psychedelic shoegaze number that layers lush instrumentation with a laid-back vibe, leaving you in a twilight state of unease. This surreal opening is the gateway to deeper, darker territories. “Slit/Scan” continues the descent with moody, cinematic instrumentals where whispers thread through a fog of static, like spirits speaking from beyond.
“Nurse” pulls us back to reality, anchored by raw guitar riffs and the haunting vocals of Chelsey Boy. Her voice, woven with gritty instrumentals, paints landscapes reminiscent of Dirty Beaches and Angelo Badalamenti’s dreamlike scores. Each track on the EP offers its own twist, creating a diverse yet cohesive sonic tapestry that keeps listeners on their toes.
