Taking evident inspiration from punk and rock from the ’90s and ’00s, Chicago-based band Plastic Tofu invigorate on new single “Sundowner.” Recorded in Los Angeles, the track is described by the act as “an easy summer song about travel, a good time, and happiness.” The steady guitar tones and repeating vocal ardency result in an infectious, no-frills rock success.
Thunderous guitar distortion commences right away, unveiling a grungy sense of nostalgia. The vocals unveil a reflective “remember when,” refrain with a dreamier, melodic tint. “Here we are, seeing the ocean — I think it’s the ocean out there,” they continue with momentum, ruminating on the impact of time as the crunching guitars drive into the replay-inducing chorus: “sundowner’s on the run.” Plastic Tofu impress with an ardent, melodic rock passion on the memorable “Sundowner.”
