‘Eliot St.’ is a sunny slice of unflustered pop, quietly confident and loose-limbed, it leans on strings and harmonies in ways reminiscent of some of pop’s all-time greats. The lyrics however are less positive, mourning the general reluctance or inability to form tight, lasting bonds with others.

Following a similar pattern, ‘Roller’ is fronted by Anna Fox Rochinski and misleadingly bright and peppy, the pop sensibilities decorating a song that’s really about loneliness, frustration and self-enforced isolation. The title refers to a term that Rochinski describes as a noun for someone who feels “a sensation that lies somewhere between claiming strength for yourself but also hiding to protect yourself from the human bullsh*t of the world.”

Plaza will be releases on the 26th February on Mexican Summer. and you can pre-order it now on CD or vinyl, and first 250 orders get a limited edition cassette.
