Beard (aka Plastic Flowers) lives in Brooklyn with only vocoders and thrifted
floral shirts for company. Stuck in a time warp maybe, but when it sounds this
good, who cares? The moniker Plastic Flowers was taken from The Wake song of
the same name, and the choice is also a revealing peek into Beard's stylistic
influences. Plastic Flowers' music has a very lo-fi Sarah Records quality to
it, woven through with great hooks and vintage synth sounds sure to please any
dream pop lover...
