about

*Please note: The digital and physical release date for this album is Friday 16th September 2022*

Plastic Mermaids announce their second full-length album ‘It’s Not Comfortable to Grow’, due for release by Sunday Best on the 16th September.

The remarkable album is a profound and emotional exploration of the many facets of heartbreak, seen through the eyes of frontman and lyricist Douglas Richards.

The sun-bleached, sauntering ‘Disposable Love’ is the first official single to be revealed from the album and one of the moments that finds Douglas exploring moments of passing relief, as he explains “it’s about wanting to get back to a younger place, a freer place; a feeling of not having much worth, but being nostalgic for that.”

Tracks were written from the start of the first lockdown in March 2020 and recorded in the band’s self-built studio at Douglas and Jamie’s father’s house in Gurnard (Doug, Chris and Jamie live nearby in Cowes, bassist Tom is in Newport and drummer Chris in freshwater).

Rice, Pasta and Other Fillers
by Porridge Radio

supported by 6 fans who also own “It's Not Comfortable To Grow”

I only first heard Porridge Radio two weeks ago, but they have become one of my favorites of all time. I love the lyrics, the music, and Dana's vocal style; I can't wait to see (and hear) where they go as they keep growing as artists and as a band. "Barks Like a Dog" means so much to me for so many different reasons, but their entire discography is amazing and I hope I get to see you guys live someday. Thank you for making music and I hope you all stay healthy :) sending love from Chicagoland mrelic

Stunning album. A bit soul, a bit of Bill Conti, a bit of Steve Reich & Philip Glass, the album takes you on a real journey. Really really good. Gareth
