专辑简介

Ready. No memory. No culture. Pollens is an American musical group living in Brooklyn. Palpitations and playlists. I repeat myself. Pollens is big singing and quick, toothy percussion. The tempo is up-. Hybrids, mash and repetition: they’re calling their music bogo-beat. There should be more about dancing. My magic, my mazes. Some of us went to art school, and some of us didn’t. What’s the difference between practicing and pretending? Nausea, regalia, treasure. Do I walk or take the city bus? Which twin wins the labradorite? Pollens comes in different sizes and dispositions. What’s that sound? So much talk of food and trivia. I forget. Pollens sing about the body, negotiation and mistakes, immediacy; about witches and warnings, kids and contest champions.

Pollens is supporting their newest record: '83. They’ve taken a new approach from their 2012 Brighten and Break (Tapete Records)- using fewer parts and people, no drum kit, no electric guitars- they’ve stripped down to the essentials of a rhythm band: dance beats, bass, percussion, and group singing. [Personnel: Jeff Aaron Bryant (percussion, vocals), Elizabeth May (vocals), Michael Pasuit (bass), with Breena Beck (vocals)] The result is four weird new songs concerning 1. lovesickness = homesickness 2. asymmetry = asymmetry 3. boys when they're afraid and 4. animals when they're not (afraid).
