Step into an alternate reality this Valentine’s Day, February 14th, as Rapt in Plastic brings their hauntingly beautiful dream-pop to the Hall of Immortals at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago. Beneath the unblinking gazes of medicine’s luminaries—Vesalius, Curie, Nightingale—immerse yourself in an evening where art and science collide.

Like the warped reflections of a vintage medical diagram, the ethereal tones of Rapt in Plastic will echo through the gilded halls, weaving Angelo Badalamenti-inspired melodies with whispers of mid-century jazz and the longing heartbeat of deep-sea mysteries. A place where anatomy becomes art and a sunny melody hides something much darker, this event promises to linger in your mind like a half-remembered dream.

Join us for a night where every note resonates with the pulse of life and the shadow of its fragility. Hidden meanings, mysterious textures, and the timeless echoes of the Hall of Immortals await.

About the Band:

Saxophone haunts, vibraphone reverberating, sunglasses on bass, drums as artifice, droning keys, masculine feminine vocals, ethereal melodies evoking mystery and longing: this is Rapt in Plastic.

The group takes inspiration from David Lynch, where a sunny day belies obscured meaning and emotion. Playing dream ballads, mid-century pop, jazz with the slow beating heart of a whale, and the specter of Laura Palmer floating above it all, Rapt in Plastic will capture your attention.

Their unique instrumentation blends a canvas of digital and analog sounds. Featuring drum machine, acoustic bass, tenor saxophone, synthesizer, vibraphone and female vocals, Rapt in Plastic will appeal to those with the most esoteric of tastes.
