Stream Clear Plastic Masks' <i>Being There</i>, Catch Their Release Show Tonight at The High Watt [Fresh Tracks]

On Tuesday, May 27, Brooklyn transplants Clear Plastic Masks will release of their debut full-length, Being There, via Kings of Leons' imprint, Serpents and Snakes Records. Pick up a copy of this week's dead-tree edition of the Scene and you'll find

contributor Claire Dodson's piece on the record

. Claire's feature outlines CPM's decision to move to Music City, their work with local producer Andrija Tokic at his

Bomb Shelter

, the band's "bluesy, punk- and soul-informed rock 'n' roll" and more. Give it a read.

And while you're at it, stream the whole record, which the Masks debuted via Spin yesterday, below. It's rich with frontman Andrew Katz's soulful vocals, Matt Menold's lush organ parts and Charles Garmendia's bombastic, loose-limbed drumming. Pre-order your very own copy of the record via iTunes or Amazon (CD; LP).

Clear Plastic Masks will celebrate the release of Being There tonight at The High Watt, and their pals Fly Golden Eagle will open; tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door. CPM and FGE will also both play the Luna Pyra launch party tomorrow night at The Anchor, but we'll have more on that later.
