Best New Tracks: Plains – Innovator
We hope all you hipsters out there are enjoying BitCandy's Summer Sampler, featuring (what we think are) some of the best indie, electro and alt pop Songs of 2012!
If you want to get involved with our Fall Sampler, submit your New Finds to us through the Curator page right now! Who knows, you and your music discoveries may become part of BitCandy history and beyond! Now that, Charlie Sheen, is what we call f*cking winning!
But back to the Summer Sampler, and to Plains, whose song, “Innovator,” forms part of our 15-track compilation (which is available for free through our Facebook page right now).
Plains' brainchild, Michael McGinnis, sneakily pumps his crunchy post-punk fullah shiny pop sensibilities, which we can only figure is a consequence of him fleeing Chicago's midwest winters for Miami's coastal stretches.
Check out our favorite Plains' track, “Innovator” – which fuses subtle synth lines with a chugging gloom underbelly... in other words... we think Interpol may have just impregnated Joy Division – below!
And remember, kids, Plains is one of the 15 amazing new artists who feature on BitCandy's Summer Sampler, featuring top indie, electro and alt pop Songs of 2012 and available for free through our Facebook page right now!
