During the new wave/post punk '80s, mine was Erasure. And the Plantains, whether they mean to satirize or praise, revive that sort of electro-depravity right down to the falsetto and synthesized beats." - Village Voice "Many groups impersonate British new wave acts from the '80s, but very few do it as convincingly, or as hilariously, as the Plantains. It's not just the accents that put singers-programmers Nicklcat and Mitgang over the top, it's the whole Eurotrash package - the looks, the hooks, and most importantly, the 'tude." - Village Voice "Totally ridiculous." - NME "Mock serious vocals with infectious synths." - DJ Magazine "Clever electro-cabaret" - Time Out New York "I Feel Love" - Tune of the Week - Tribeca Film. |
| Released: October 26, 2010. The better part of a decade after their height in the New York City electro scene, the long-lost Plantains recordings finally see the light of day with "Career Retrospective", a collection of the band's finest cuts and unheard gems. |
