Plastic People

Rexa Rey
Dark high-energy electro-pop/grunge fusion, 120 BPM, built around TWO ELECTRO FIDDLES as signature lead instruments, Open with ominous synth pulse and dual fiddles: one sharp high fiddle motif answered by a darker low fiddle, then filthy 90s grunge guitars crash in, Deep bouncing synth bass, punchy electronic drums, crisp percussion and dark neon synths, Dual fiddles constantly interact with vocals using short call-and-response phrases, harmonized hooks, aggressive rhythmic stabs and fast melodic runs, During instrumental sections the two fiddles trade leads, then lock into high/low harmony over distorted grunge guitar, Light feminine lead vocal, cold, intimate and controlled in verses, increasingly defiant and melodic in choruses—no screaming or belting, Start dark and poisonous, then progressively become energetic, empowering, Huge final chorus with grunge guitars, pounding electro bass and both fiddles together, Tight pristine studio mix, minimal reverb, no crowd or live effects
