ABOUT THIS ITEM

On their debut album "Earthly Powers", Munich-based duo Pollyester experiment with far-out hooklines in a krautdisco mood. With previous EPs on their own Imprint Love in C Minor and on Permanent Vacation, Polina Lapkovskaja alias Polly and Manuel da Coll alias Yossarian have already established themselves as contemporary producers full of surprises.

For their debut long player Pollyester collect together 12 songs. Sitting somewhere in between Stereolab, Les Rita Mitsouko, Siouxsie Siuox, The Slits, Can, Chrisma and Nico (talk about dream dinner party!), the duo are inspired by these leftfield heroes, but don't steal or imitate their work, but here and there you'll hear flashes of sounds past. Pollyester's music works its way into your head with an analogue strength and plenty of catchy tunes without letting itself reduce to one explicit style.

Similar to contemporary North-American newcomers such as Rainbow Arabia, Peaking Lights or The Soft Moon, Pollyester are not interested in any genre labelling, and playfully jump between spooky and euphoric atmospheres. Tribal rhythms, energetic krautrock, disco strings and witch-house moments are equal partners in their kaleidoscope arrangements. All of them magically glisten thanks to Polly's cool emotional speech song and promote double bottom pop that clings to the listener and at the same time sounds somehow bitchy. The music is topped by Polly's surreal lyrics, all of which loop themselves into the brains of listeners with their mantra choruses and project nightly metropolitan neon-stories on the inner screen.
