TAKEN FROM THE LIVERPOOL OUTFIT’S SELF-TITLED EP – OUT THIS MONTH!

Polar States are today sharing their gleaming new single ‘Dust’

A wistful and enveloping track, it channels the Liverpool outfit at their most quintessential, with intricate guitars making way for a triumphant crescendo as the track springs into life in an epic way.

Explaining the track in more detail, the band elaborate, “We all felt quite precious about ‘Dust’ from the outset, and for that reason, it was destined to be a pain in the arse to record. But we used the first take because it just felt perfect. The studio cat was also called Dust which was a sign from the universe. We miss Dust, even if he did cause Jack to have an allergic reaction.”

Taken from the band’s upcoming self-titled EP, due for release on 29th April, the new body of work will also feature previous singles ‘So Much Happened Since You Came’ which marries indie sensibility with a vulnerable backdrop, and ‘Waves (Beyond The Shore)’, a glistening indie pop gem inspired by the band’s scenic Merseyside roots. The EP, unlike previous material, was mostly written on the piano, and documents inner city life with escapism. There’s a cascading vulnerability running through it, “We knew some people would love it, and some would hate it but that excited us even more,” the band say.

‘Dust’ is the next part of the puzzle for Polar States, who’s online cult following saw exponential growth during lockdown. With the band’s WhatsApp group hitting thousands of messages a night by the end of 2021, this resulted in a series of sold out shows across the country and hundreds of thousands of streams across digital streaming platforms.

Previous singles ‘2020’, ‘Cover Me’ and ‘Lines’ received relentless support from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Hot New Bands and The Indie List. The band also recently supported Wolf Alice and have appeared at Liverpool Sound City, Tramlines and Kendal Calling.

‘Dust’ is out now. ‘Polar States’ EP is released on 29th April 2022.

 

 

About Polar States 

After a demo was picked up by Coldplay producer Jon Withnall, Polar States found themselves being played on BBC Radio 1 before they’d even had a chance to cut their teeth live. They spent the tail-end of 2021 touring the UK, with sold out shows in London, Manchester and their hometown, Liverpool.

It all began when singer Paul and guitarist Josh met one December evening to discuss forming a band, finalising the plan when they got stuck in a lift together later that night, before climbing out in-between floors in a mission impossible-esque fashion. There’s still a raging debate as to who was Tom Cruise that night.

Surreal incidents have continued to occur since Polar States’ inception, more recently a cat named Dust interrupted a recording session by jumping on the piano in the studio whilst they were recording the EP track of the same name. It’s enough to make you believe that the band’s glittering fate is written in the stars.

“During lockdown, we pressed reset. We knew we didn’t want to look back. We spent nearly every minute of the day together, wrote a load of new songs and just found ourselves becoming really attached to what we’d made,” they explain.

And so here it begins, 2022, the year Polar States stake their claim.
