Kim Gray Dedicates His Album ‘Plastic Memory’ to Bad Diet Records’ Late Founder
When zoomers finish delivering our Jimmy John’s then venture deeper into our pod to begin polishing the gold and platinum records, they adorably text to ask: “Is it true the music industry is exxxtra warm and slaps fr?” To which we reply: “pikachuface.jpg.”
But humans know the truth.
The music industry is objectively cooler than a Pete Davidson popcorn vessel sitting on Sub-Zero’s ice pick. And yet there are times when it’s not as chilly as Anthony Fantano bartering for matches in Siberia. And this is one such time. Toasty. So let us toast.
Bad Diet artist Trevor Kim Gray has released his first follow-up LP to Compulsion. It’s entitled Plastic Memory. And it’s great—it’s heart warmingly great. Catch the vidz to singles “Eugene Vampire” and “Holiday.” Our current fave: “On Screen.”
Notice how your ears embrace these tracks—like the arms of an axolotl cradling purple-pink cosmic eggs in The Aquarium of Pop Treasure on a wavy aftermoon.
We are moved by the dedication of Plastic Memory to Bad Diet’s late founder, Zach Stephenson, consecrated on the vinyl’s back cover. We know Z is pleased. The Zexit had many of us feelin’ stuck. Like candles in an Instagoth’s least vlogged candelabra. So, yeah. This dedication slaps. That Twitch Blair Witch’s door open. Hi sun! Moon us.
Congrats to Kim Gray on the savant lvl achievement that is Plastic Memory. Props to Buzz Records of Canada for releasing the album and for costarring in Home Alone. Mops to our emo makeup. Schlop schlop schlop to all the dogs sippin’ water.
