Munich based duo Pollyester has been wowing the world with various EPs since 2007, released on their own label Love in C Minor and Permanent Vacation. Now it's time for their album "Earthly Powers" - Les Rita Mitsouko collide with witch house in a kraut rock commune and disco strings hug Siouxsie Sioux. Two indefatigable genre crossers indulge in pop: on the debut album "Earthly Powers", the smashing duo Pollyester from Southern-Germany experiments with far out hooklines in a krautdisco. With their worldwide acclaimed 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 a contemporary producer duo full of surprises.
Since 2007, Pollyester combine the duo's wide range of musical experiences from both of their diverse other projects. 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 labelling and playfully jump between spooky and euphoric atmospheres. Tribal rhythms, energetic krautrock, disco strings and Witch-Housemoments are equal partners in their kaleidoscope arrangements.
