Sounds Like: Recent Press:
"The word is spreading around triple j about this band. And on the strength of this track (Empire Falls), for good reason. Touches of Arcade Fire, Bowie and a lovely little xylophone." - Richard Kingsmill, Triple J
"Simply, this song (Empire Falls) is a celebration. It rumbles, twinkles, and stomps; there's a lot going on but you don't notice it, you're too busy enjoying the ride! And it WILL have you singing along...."falling, falling, falling...something, something, furthest corner of the former empire..." Great stuff!" - Caz Tran, Triple J
"Can someone please put their album out?" - Craig Mathieson, Mess and Noise
"It's a thrilling beginning for these guys - full of creative savvy and hopeful hearts - and I wish there were more bands in the country that sounded so sincere." - Beat Magazine
"...a sound as diverse and inventive as sextet Plastic Palace Alice is the type that cuts through hype and hyperbole and makes people listen." - Wireless Bollinger
"...lush, dense...stunning, theatrical..." - Beat Magazine
"Plastic Palace Alice is set to modestly sneak up behind us and let out an eye opening "boo!". Reflecting a diverse number of influences, their music glistens and booms its way into your heart. The band's latest single Empire Falls would turn Rome's bloody topple into a cascading flow of refreshing bloom...I can't wait for the album." - The Sandwich Club
"Some songs have a nice beat" - Rob's mum
