Since forming in 2010, Whitley Bay residents Polarsets have released two critically acclaimed singles; their debut ‘Sunshine Eyes’ through renowned French label Kitsuné, and sophomore release ‘Morning’ via US tastemakers Neon Gold Records. The trio now return with the Exotica EP due out July 09th on Euphonios Records.
Friends from school, Rob (vocals/guitar), Mike (keys) and James (drums) formed in their native town of Whitley Bay. After an inspiring trip to Ibiza they set to work on their tropical, upbeat indie sound; filled with escapism, intricate rhythms and euphoric dancefloor beats.
Following the release of their first two singles Polarsets completed two successful UK tours. They have played sold-out shows in Europe, the US and South America - including several showcase events at this year’s SXSW festival. In addition to playing shows across the globe the band have garnered much support throughout the blogsphere as well as from the likes of Rob Da Bank, Huw Stephens and Zane Lowe - who declared debut single ‘Sunshine Eyes’ as a “Next Hype-Track”.
While previous single ‘Morning’ saw Polarsets continue with their indie-pop sound, the 4-track Exotica EP sees the trio explore a more escapist, laid back and synth-heavy route whilst keeping true to their infectious dance heritage. Lead tracks ‘Tropics’ and ‘Distance’ perfectly highlight the band’s ability to create cacophonous indie-dancefloor beats with an underlying chilled-out focus that moulds 4 tracks into a lush sea of tropical synths.
