You Look Like a Lost Soul | Album | 2018 |
Drawing musical inspirations mostly from 80’s and 90’s independent music the band’s sound encompasses a lo-fi and DIY attitude, vast seas of guitar effects, layers of analog and digital synths accompanied by lush and male vocals, and a groovy rhythm section.
The band’s early releases, have been received positively by various music blogs (Obscure Sound, We All Want Someone to Shout For) and featured on numerous playlists (BIRP!, Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Six Strings, IndieMusicNation, etc.) The debut album You Look Like A Lost Soul has been critically acclaimed and won 2 music awards: 1) Latvian Music Awards for the Best Debut and 2) Austras Balva (the local equivalent of the British Mercury Prize). The band has participated in various music showcases and played in the biggest festivals in the Baltics such as BUSH (Hungary), CineEast (Luxembourg), Positivus (Latvia), Summer Sound (Latvia), Devilstone (Lithuania), Tallinn Music Week (Estonia) and others.
FROM THE MEDIA: The “Lush vocals mix with a serene bass line, expanding upon the hook around 01:20 into a shimmering beauty with an otherworldly and ethereal quality. Influences like Mazzy Star and Slowdive are evident, with this track being a great way to usher in the calm and meditative elements of autumn. The brass around the two-minute mark, crafting an atmospheric bridge, combines with serene vocals and a very calm rhythmic push to make this track a sure winner.” OBSCURE SOUND
“Polifauna hail from Europe and make psychedelic dream-pop in overwhelming acts such as Mazzy Star, Slowdive, Low, and others. “Last Days of Summer” is a track from their upcoming new album. It’s a leisurely-paced track that hits you with some nostalgic soaked melodies and emotive vocals that connect together to create an overwhelming dreamy sense that is perfectly executed and made for a lazy Sunday at home during a nice winter day. If the rest of the album is as strong as “Last Days of Summer,” this album will be absolutely sublime.” WE ALL WANT SOMEONE TO SHOUT FOR
