NoiVad They fixed this->No favorite track, the stupid script doesn't account for none.
And I have a fav now… I have seen her live a few times, and the energy and talent she actually brings to the stage makes her a true performer. Her albums capture the subtleties though, which is a good thing, because her songs are more than skin deep, and definitely not plastic—polished, yes. I guess you can say they’re deceptively presented with a plastic electro-pop shell hiding carefully crafted music&lyrics. Favorite track: Hunger (DIMENSION FLUX mix).

Plastic and broken It even hurts to breathe But it’s insane to think that no one understands what you need Tired of being sick With a virus that rages Watch as everyone goes away I hate being so contagious We are not the same You are still gutless And what I hate Is your plastic mess I hate that I like you I hate that I’m like you Plastic makes perfect A plastic life you lead Consume enough to hide the fading hope of shattered dreams I’m hanging up my dress. I thought you wanted this Smeared lipstick. It’s not so pretty when you can see the mess I’m tired of playing in this house Please unlock the door, I’ll never get out You wanted to see the world, my precious girl But I don’t feel well, I’ve had enough now We are not the same You are still gutless And what I hate Is your plastic mess I hate that I like you I hate that I’m like you

You’ve got some nerve Standing here in front of me Don’t you touch me Never knew I’d be so easy to dismiss Don’t take this wrong But I have nothing left to give I’m the one obsessing over broken hearts And what it was I did Shame on me for not recognizing the Shame between us would soon drive us apart Nobody knows me but you saw something That not even I’ve been able to reach You’ve made me reserved, afraid to touch For it might all just go away And nobody knows me but you took something That not even I was able to save You’ve made me reserved, afraid to touch For it has all just gone away When I see fire I have to learn to run away Instead of reaching in, I burn, I scar I just can’t help myself I never learn I have failed a thousand times So much I’ve had has been consumed by The greedy mouths of time Shame on me for not recognizing the Shame between us would soon drive us apart

about

I'm so excited to release this EP! Happy Valentine's day to my fans! This showcases a taste of the upcoming full CD "Plastic Makes Perfect" set to release this spring. Below is the press release.
Thanks again, for your patience and love!
<3 Jennifer.


We are very excited to share with you today a glimpse into AYRIA's much anticipated new album with this upcoming digital EP “Plastic And Broken” that includes two original tracks, as well as five remixes. “Plastic Makes Perfect” combines a driving bass synth line inspired by older styled EBM, which has also now become part of the AYRIA arsenal of styles, but this time, the bassline is blended thickly with layers of intense and chaotic synths and chanting vocals.

A detonating blend of conflicted influences of both grunge and electro. “Missed The Mark” on the other hand reveals the most pop-oriented side of AYRIA with multi-layerd vocal pre-chorus, a catchy as hell chorus section, and powerful synth leads and instrumentals…The best sad dark pop song ever written by Jennifer Parkin!

The remixers featured on Jenn's new EP release do not only come from some of the big bands in the electro and industrial scene, but are above all, all very meaningful to her personally, being friends or artists she's been touring or working with in the past.

PROJECT PITCHFORK add their unique signature sound to "Missed The Mark", a band AYRIA has already toured with. Sebastian R. Komor who again produced the new AYRIA album transforms "Plastic Makes Perfect" into an impressive massive club assault.

Daniel B. (of PROTHESE, FRONT 242, etc.) returns with a new remix for AYRIA with this moody, textured and minimalistic rework of "Plastic Makes Perfect", a subtle version with an addictive driving urgency behind it that helps diversify the styles on the EP.

UK new talents DIMENSION FLUX will blow you away with their DJ-friendly mix of “Hunger” combining big draggy synth lines and big club beats.

Last but not least, label mates JUNKSISTA created a wonderful electro version of “Missed The Mark” that captures a very cool retro 80’s electro vibe while creatively layering the vocals to achieve a new mood in the song, while finishing up the mix with full out guitar leads for a perfect end to the EP we just want to play again and again…

AYRIA is back – let's celebrate!
