Plastic Letters

by Blondie

Preceding their massive global breakthrough later that same year, Blondie's sophomore effort captures the band transitioning from gritty CBGB's punk to slickly produced retro-pop. Featuring 'Denis', 'Plastic Letters' is a fiercely energetic, intensely melodic new wave gem that beautifully romanticizes urban nightlife through remarkably playful, 60s-influenced girl-group harmonies.
