Former Frog Eyes leader Carey Mercer has announced his new band Soft Plastics. Mercer has also shared the inaugural single from the project and announced the band’s debut LP 5 Dreams, which will be released via Paper Bag Records. Listen to “Rope Off the Tigers” below and scroll down to find the LP tracklist art.

Mercer, Mel Campbell, and Shyla Seller comprise Soft Plastics. “The songs aren’t tied to a cohesive theme,” Mercer said of the new album in a press release. “But they do exist in a land that is deeply wet, dark, flooded—occasionally a gilded sunbeam comes out of nowhere and the song just stops and stares in bloody awe of what we are given, what we might see.”

Frog Eyes announced their breakup in 2018. Their final LP Violet Psalms arrived later that year.
