Brooklyn-based dream-pop indie rockers Plastic Picnic are excited to present “Roslyn,” the latest track to be lifted from the Friday, July 29 release of the band’s long-awaited debut album, As Long As You Need. A song about heavy loss and grieving, “Roslyn” features haunting harmonies provided by acclaimed pop duo Overcoats and follows the band’s previous single, “Pixie.”
“‘Roslyn’ is an intimate reflection of a family death,” vocalist/guitarist Emile Panerio said. “Wrestling with the pain of unraveling the threads of a personal tragedy, ‘Roslyn’ is one of the more delicate songs on the record and leans more towards the introspective folk undertones of Big Thief or Phoebe Bridgers while still holding true to our brand of wistful dream rock.” Stream “Roslyn” on YouTube HERE.

A record brimming with beautiful, widescreen indie that explores failing relationships, the pain of loss, social media and the anxiety it inflicts on us all, and the dark side of nightlife, As Long As You Need is an examination of the complexities of youth in all its bittersweet glory. Panerio had the following to share about the album:
“’As Long As You Need’ is a daily fitting title — the album is a very sincere and vulnerable large chunk of our personal experiences over the past decade. I wanted our first LP to really feel like getting to know us, what we’ve experienced and what we’re learning as we age together. A
Despite all having roots in the Pacific Northwest, the members of Plastic Picnic — Emile Panerio (vocals), Lincoln Lute (guitar), Marshall Hunt (bass), Gordon Taylor (drums) — came together in New York City in 2016. Since its formation, the band has released two EPs (Plastic Picnic and Vistalite), receiving early praise from the likes of NPR, Billboard, Earmilk and more for their shimmering and nostalgic pop that gives generous nods to everything from John Hughes soundtracks to modern indie rock. Plastic Picnic’s music has also been featured in Homeland and Shameless, and the band recently performed as part of this year’s Governors Ball in New York City this past weekend.
“Through the pandemic, some new perspective and lots of therapy, I was able to make true progress,” Panerio summarizes. “Forgiveness was a huge part of that, both receiving it and giving it. ‘As Long As You Need’ is a personal title in that way because apparently I needed a long time to get there, but I’m feeling so grateful at the arrival.”
