Tag: The Joy of Violent Movement: Single Review: Feels Alright feat. Looks Fade

With the release of two previous EPs and “Sly,” featuring Winston Surfshirt, the first single off the soon-to-be released Friends EP, Sydney, Australia-based production and electronic music artist duo Polorgaphia have gained a rapidly growing national profile; in fact, the duo’s latest single “Feels Alright,” a collaboration with psych pop act Looks Fade was released as the duo announced a national tour to support their third EP.  Interestingly, the duo’s latest single will further cement the duo’s burgeoning reputation for thematically focusing on wistful nostalgia, growing up and rapid passing of time while sonically the sound was inspired by 90s R&B ballads and 80s synth pop as the duo pair lush and shimmering synths and piano with, plaintive falsetto vocals, old school home-inspired percussion and a wobbling bass line. And while nostalgic, the song manages to be anthemic and hopeful for a bright future.
