Oui Plastique - Fraternity Of Strangers (2022)

" **** - An album of comradeship, both between the artists involved and the rapport gained by offering an open palm to something new, something built in blood and expression, for in Oui Plastique we have brothers waiting to thrill us." - Liverpool Sound and Vision

”Expect gloomy reflections about loss, facing your fears, and even the capitalist system, all surrounded by multi-layered electronics, Depeche Mode duskiness and wholehearted vocals.” – Turn Up The Volume

"superbly timed and devilishly charming electronica pop.” – Liverpool Sound and Vision

Oui Plastique are Martin Nyrup and James Thomas, an electronic music duo based in Denmark and Italy respectively. In 2017, they released their first collaborative album, “Convergence” under the names of their own projects, Perpacity and DVL.

Their aim was to create as solid a first album as possible, and one where they were equal partners and in agreement on all the various processes throughout making it. They feel they have achieved
this with “Fraternity of Strangers”.

The album features melodic synths and programmed drums, with a cinematic and atmospheric feel throughout, and the focus on songs that stick in your head. Lyrically, the album deals with the themes of loss (“Failure” and “Silenced”), facing your fears (“Sanctuary” and “The Fear”), and even the capitalist system (“The Final Delivery”)!
