Layaway Plot

Description

On Layaway Plot, Pretty Baby weaves elements from turn of the century Dischord

bands, the emotive Richmond punk scene, the cerebral experimental rock of Olympia,

and angular post-punk revival. Piercing guitars, frenetic bass and chaotic drums pulse

under layered unsettling synth pads and desperate, throaty vocals. At their apex,

distorted walls of sound finally crash and from the dust emerge plaintive and

melancholy instrumental sections.The resulting sound pays homage to the

progenitors of post-hardcore while resisting the traps of nostalgia. Layaway Plot finds

the band vulnerable, angry, sardonic, and at times defeated. But never without hope.

Now fully realized, Pretty Baby is a band equally at home in art galleries, basements,

and punk clubs alike.
