Our cover of "Plastic Love" by Mariya Takeuchi. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley. Recorded at Smack House Studio in New Jersey.

It's about time! We know we're a little late to this cover, but it's never too late for a timeless classic. We've loved this song for years, of course, and even had an arrangement line up for it - we just never could get it properly recorded. Now, we can finally do it. We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed playing this - and producing it! This was (my) first time mixing something of this style, and I tried my best to get as close to the original vibe while still retaining our own voice. Thanks everybody, and much love to the queen that started this whole city pop craze outside of Japan, Mariya Takeuchi.
