Saturn Return

Te Whanganui-a-tara three-piece Soft Plastics have been crafting fuzzy, ethereal indie-rock since their first release in 2020, a self-titled double-single combo release. Sophie Scott-Maunder (she/her), Laura Robinson (she/her), and Jonathan Shirley (he/him) spent three days in Newtown’s Surgery Studios recording with James Goldsmith bringing their debut full-length album Saturn Return together. 

Saturn Return definitely achieves the professional sound Soft Plastics were aiming for. It’s a delightfully dreamy display of indie-rock instrumentation that negotiates the complex but common issues of finding yourself in a moving world.
