Video Premiere: Plasticine Cowboy - I Luv The Valley OH!

Plasticine Cowboy, the solo project of Vancouver’s Harman Burns first came on our radar near the end of 2021 with the release of a two song covers EP called Wolfs that we covered as a “Quick Pick. A companion EP was released at the start of April entitled Wolfs II and today we are excited to premiering a video for the track “I Luv the Valley OH!”, a Xiu Xiu cover.

Born in the Saskatchewan prairies on Treaty 6 land, Burns is a trans sound artist and filmmaker that has had work displayed at the Remai Modern art gallery. Her debut EP, Yellow Barks Spider, was released in September of 2021 and sadly we didn’t learn of it until later. Both the cover EPs have distinct sounds with Wolfs being centered around acoustic sounds and Wolfs II making use of digital and synthesized sound. Sampling sources such as a children’s keyboard, DIY electronics, and a vibrator, the songs continue Harman’s penchant for experimentation, focused through the lens of pop song structures and forms.

Enjoy the video for “I Luv the Valley OH!” and consider supporting Burns through her Plasticine Cowboy Bandcamp page… it is Bandcamp Friday after all.
