Press Reviews "Plastic Nebraska's enigmatic, entrancing sound weaves together disparate sounds: Scissoring accordions, blues tinged guitar, arty arrangements, low-key vocals, cryptic lyrics. It's not jam music, it's not exactly rock and roll, it's not folk. The best cuts on their debut have an itchy pulse, etching out a minimalist dance groove, with low-key harmonies over the top. The accordion adds a rustic, rural flavor but there's something vaguely ominous and sinister at work here. This could be a soundtrack for off-kilter folks who populate the towns in 'X-Files' or 'Twin Peaks.'" --T. Portson, Erie Daily Times, Erie PA -----> "...percussive, sequential but only slightly linear, post-folk art-groove music. There was more than a generous streak of soulful two-step and a heaping dollop of mordant, Celtic mysticism. There was some jamming and some atmospheric layering, but the whole show was pretty cohesive. There was something different about Nebraska, Plastic as it was. And yet something very close and familiar." --Bert Patterns, Ithaca Times, Ithaca NY ----->"Plastic Nebraskan Rick Hansen set aside his keyboards a few years ago to get a handle on his accordion. He did --twisting it into a sound not unlike electrified fiddle -- a fiddle that induces twitch trances and dances. The Plastics call it as 'space-alien-trailer-park-music.' When the band, which includes Hansen's brother Ted on guitar and the brothers' three life-long friends, gets grooving, the accordion will drive you." --JLI, Dirty Linen, Baltimore MD
