Stuart Carroll is a Professor of Early Modern History at York University. He also steers Plastic Factory, a guitar driven Indie band predicated on BMX style teenage ennui and Byrds guitar. Current album Forgotten Dreams is a sweet, plaintive start to the week on It Starts.One foot in the C-86 Past. One in the here and now. .
These are a bunch of lovely songs which feed on and channel out the pain and wan desire of that first great rites of passage journey. Plastic Factory speak of the value of keeping and open portal to those key emotions and energies.
I did History at York, way before his time, and this is the sort of music I would have been listening to then. Meta.
