Joel Drzycimski's music and Ear Coffee have gone hand in hand since the beginning. Some of those early cringe-worthy articles that I wrote featured Joel's old band Cureton and a few of his side projects. All of those songs ranged from parody Christmas music to quirky pop-punk jams to scathing critiques of the religious culture we witnessed going to college. It had been a while since we heard something from the sonic chameleon, but now Joel is back with the single "Plastic."
The track feels at home among the ska-punk of the late 90s and early 00s. Its bouncy guitars and walking basslines propel it through Joel's musings over the existential dilemma of growing older and the consumerism that comes with it. References to targeted marketing and various social media influencer products are thrown in a nihilistic glee as the track's chorus ends with "hail to my plastic god."
"Plastic" shows Joel's songwriting chops haven't dulled in the interim as he stays just as scrappy as ever. Along with the track, you can find a stop-motion-esque music video released over on his YouTube page.
