It Sounds Like if Pop Punk was invented inside the Vaporwave Laberynth of 1981.

Full disclosure: I first heard about Gavin Michaels‘s upcoming single Plastic Decays roughly a year ago at a private event. Upon hearing it again fully mixed and mastered, I am happy to report the psychosomatic, delusion-inducing, Mandela effect trip I found myself experiencing in an attempt to identify where this pronounced beat and melody I consistently found in my head derived from is not that at all! Unable to locate anything similar on Spotify, YouTube, or WSRR Radio, I was under the opinion that I had quite simply lost my absolute ever-loving mind. However, what I did not realize at the time was this very tune stuck in my head was the yet-to-be-released Gavin Michaels hit single Plastic Decays.

Plastic Decays, not unlike every other song by the one and only Gavin Michaels, is an absolute instant classic. With a sound I can only describe as Pop Punk Vapourwave complete with 8-bit video game SFX, Plastic Decays takes a look at the modern alteration culture of trends like Botox, fillers, and body modification that cannot disguise whats actually inside. The song serves as a great reminder for the modern generation that buying looks, ideologies, or trends is not the same as achieving happiness. Describing in an exaggerated example of how far some people will take their ideologies of achieving a “perfect look”, Gavin brilliantly includes the stand-out line of the song in my eyes, “Rip your heart out your chest because it beats too slow”.

While Plastic Decays is set for release on August 16th, 2024 on all major streaming platforms, Listeners of WSRR Radio will be treated to an early release with the song being added to our daily radio beginning August 2nd, 2024! Be sure to tune in to WSRR to catch Plastic Decays early and let us (216-859-8699) as well as Gavin (@_GavinMichaels) know what YOU think!
