Pollyester have recorded twelve songs for “EARTHLY POWERS”, which will certainly boost them around the pop globe. Somewhere in between Stereolab, Les Rita Mitsouko, Siouxsie Siuox, The Slits, Can, Chrisma and Nico the Munich duo has made themselves comfortable with their electronic sizzling. They don’t steal and they don’t imitate, just here and there a few flashes of recognition will hit brains with pop music schooling, only to evaporate in the duo’s unique sound amalgam the next moment. A sound that inexorably bores itself into the body 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 labeling 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 metropoli- tan neon-stories on the inner screen.
The British press already labeled the duo as “Cosmic Disco” thanks to their psychedelic energy, however, with the supplementary “Lindstrom on Mescalin”. A nice compliment that forgets to mention, though, that Pollyester ignite their unique space shuttle fuel and no matter what speed they play and with what atmosphere they toy they rotate in their own orbit with their boogie basshooks, their twinkling synthesizer melodies and their twisted grooves.
“It’s really good. Played a track on my show last week and will be playing one this week. Gina X meets Matthew Dear. Ace.” Bill Brewster (IDJ / DJHISTORY)
“Have to say that Voices from the new Pollyester album is the song of the year for me… a perfect pop song.” Piers Martin (VICE UK / UNCUT)
“Muss man lieben, geht nicht anders.[...] Pollyester [haben sich] längst einen Platz unter den hippen neuen Genrebrechern der Intelligent Dance Music erobert.” Spiegel.de (05/2011)
“Das Fundament der Synthie-Melodien bildet dabei eine perfekt eingespielte Groove-Maschine.[...] Da knarzt, knödelt und leiert es von links nach rechts und von oben nach unten, bis es kaum mehr auszuhalten ist.” Spex (05-06/2011)
“Die Münchner Bassistin Pollyester feiert nicht nur Parties mit Außerirdischen, Barockfürsten und Irrenhäuslern – sie hat auch ein ziemlich spaßiges Debütalbum vorgelegt. Genau dieser Geist beseelt auch das Debütalbum ‘Earthly Powers’ von Pollyester.[...] Alles wirkt nonchalant hingeworfen, sitzt aber perfekt.” Sueddeutsche.de (05/2011)
“Zum Umfallen schön.” Intro (05/2011)
“Polly Lapkovskaja und Manuel da Coll beweisen als Pollyester mindestens genau so viel Stil wie als Protagonisten der Münchner Kunst- und Clubszene.” Qvest (01/2011)
