Plight
New York City alt-rock band Plight announces their self-titled sophomore album, set for release on June 13. The self-titled follow-up to debut LP Plastic Sun sees the band refining their sonic identity, fusing the anthemic crunch of ‘90s power-pop with the atmospheric sweep of classic emo. Think the earnest melancholy of Sunny Day Real Estate colliding with the jagged hooks of Seaweed, all funneled through a raw and immediate energy that feels distinctly their own. Urgent, melodic, and brimming with restless momentum, the album channels the nervy catharsis of bands like Archers of Loaf and Treepeople while carving out a space that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.The guitars shimmer and snarl, the hooks are razor-sharp, and Curtis’ vocals weave between contemplative and commanding. Fans of Sunny Day Real Estate, Weezer, Seaweed, Archers of Loaf and Superchunk will enjoy this.
