In their debut full-length “Layaway Plot,” Pretty Baby is a band realizing itself after years of compiling disparate sounds and influences, and pushing them through the fine mesh sieve of grief. On Layaway Plot, Pretty Baby weaves elements from turn of the century Dischord bands, the emotive Richmond punk scene, the cerebral experimental rock of Olympia, and angular post-punk revival. Piercing guitars, frenetic bass and chaotic drums pulse under layered unsettling synth pads and desperate, throaty vocals. At their apex, distorted walls of sound finally crash and from the dust emerge plaintive and melancholy instrumental resulting sound pays homage to the progenitors of post-hardcore while resisting the traps of nostalgia. Layaway Plot finds the band vulnerable, angry, sardonic, and at times defeated. But never without hope. Now fully realized, Pretty Baby is a band equally at home in art galleries, basements, and punk clubs -release between Expert Work Records, The Ghost Is Clear Records, and Mishap RecordsLimited to 330 copies worldwide in die-cut sleeveFFO/RIYL: Unwound, At the Drive-In, Clikatat Ikatowi, Indian Summer, City of Caterpillar.
