Experimental Sydney-based duo Plastic Face have today announced their brooding, delightfully bizarre new single HiiViSiON, an intriguing exploration into a very strange state of mind. The mysterious duo have also released a stunning clip to accompany the track, written and directed by Sean Donovan.
HiiViSiON makes an immediate impact with the curious opening lyric ‘Have you ever seen a rat trying to fly?’ Evocative of 90s house music, but with hints of modern Australian influences such as Tame Impala and Flume, PlasticFace are carving out a very special, unique niche for themselves. Should the listener dance, or listen contemplatively, or do both at the same time? It’s up to the individual, as Plastic Face explain, “The song isn’t really about someone, it’s more a state of mind. This year has been so bananas it kind of represents our feeling towards it…Life and experiences make us tick, strange and unique.”

A song and project as unique as this deserves a visual representation that suits the source material – and the video for HiiViSiON does not disappoint. Dark and wild, a nighttime car trip in the rain takes a bizarre turn – evocative of Donnie Darko, the entire video is deeply unsettling, yet intriguing, and will prompt the viewer to watch again and again. Speaking on the inspiration behind the clip, Plastic Face says, “One of our lovely pals Sean Donovan wrote and directed this clip. After seeing his independent short film ‘Headless Chooks’ we knew we had to work with him! It was evocative, dark and truly open to interpretation. ‘HiiViSiON’ is no different. We all agreed we wanted something mysterious, dark and thought-provoking. Something to entice people to dip their toes into our world so to speak and come up with their own answers. We pulled together an incredible team with the little resources we had and made something we’re so happy with.”
Plastic Face are a breath of fresh air in a world where a lot of things are starting to look and feel the same. Fans of HiiViSiON will be pleased to hear that there is more music coming from the new duo, as they enthuse, “We absolutely, positively cannot wait to unleash our music onto the world, we’ve loved making it, it’s been such a random unique process as it always is with the two of us. We are so amped and can’t wait for everyone to wrap their eyes and ears around our work.”
