Check out this new EP from producer Lee Bannon. The new set is dirty, and grimy, and that’s exactly how it wants it.
Earlier this year, the offices of Plug Research received a mysterious package from Lee Bannon. Inside was a CD-R with a note written on it, “this is my Fantastic Plastic LP. you wanna put it out?” The music was a grimy journey through beats that brought to mind Madlib and early Flying Lotus. The indie label agreed to release the record. “This Fantastic Plastic project that I’m doing with Plug, it’s a producer album for the heads,” says Lee in a rare public statement via phone call. “I don’t see the radio masses getting it. It’s really, really dirty and I like that. It’s almost my ambient record.” When asked about the title of the record, Lee explained, “think about everything in your life that is plastic. Even my deodorant has plastic, the headphones I’m using to engineer music has plastic, all my keyboards are plastic, I open a plastic bag to get my chips. Fantastic Plastic represents a world ruled by plastic. That’s it.” With Fantastic Plastic slated for a 2012 release on Plug Research/Kash Roc Entertainment, Lee wanted to give his fans a taste with the release of the Search & Destroy e-single on August 16, 2011! The e-single consists of “Search & Destroy” featuring Chuck English of The Cool Kids and “The Things” featuring legendary MC, Del The Funky Homosapien. The e-single will be available at your favorite digital store everywhere!!
