PAY THE PRICE FOR PARADISE.

Listening to ‘Cinerama’, the latest EP from Parisian artist Plastic Bamboo is like being hit in the head by a coconut and then waking up in a dreamlike state on the white sands of an exotic but familiar destination. Suddenly you’re a stranger in a strange land on some deserted, enchanted island with palm trees, tanned hardbodies, loin cloths, waves crashing and the scents of banana, pineapple and sea salt. Listen at your leisure.

But wait — that’s not all! Also what comes to mind on the silky-smooth track “A Scene At The Sea” is heavy artillery and a cargo plane containing one giant “LIVE” snake! Wait a minute, that sure sounds like the plot to 1987’s action-juggernaut flick Hard Ticket To Hawaii.

Now it makes total sense because for a brief moment I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what these 6 tracks of cosmic disco collectively reminded me of and then four words hit me like a ton of bricks. HARD TICKET TO HAWAII. Check out an instrumental clip from the soundtrack below and tell me if you agree.

No wonder why I love it so much! As the warmer weather rolls in, give this EP your attention especially if you plan on bopping around the beach this summer. It will enhance your leisure.
