Some albums are like a party in a box - put it on the stereo and you know you're going to have a good time.
Plushgun bounces in to the room, passes out the glowsticks, hands you a beer and tells you to dance.
The pumping synth lines are a perfect foil to Brooklyn-based Daniel Ingala's sensitive wordsmith tendencies that work to create addictive indie-pop with a bittersweet edge.

But parties can't always chase away the tears, as anyone who's ever had their heart broken can attest. Which explains the bittersweet story that unfolds in Plushgun's new "Just Impolite" video with director Tyler Shields, featuring Juno Temple ("The Other Boleyn Girl," "Atonement," and upcoming "Mr. Nobody" and "The Year One"), Brittany Snow ("Hairspray," "Prom Night," and upcoming "Clock Tower" and "The Vicious Kind") and Shiloh Fernandez (upcoming "Cadillac Records" and "The United States of Tara").
Plushgun was recently featured on NPR's "Second Stage".
