Pollyn's excellent debut album
This Little Night – a steely-cool collection recalling Bat For Lashes & Portishead – had ice water pulsing through its veins, the band has since undergone a thorough transfusion to something much more warm-blooded for their follow-up,
Living In Patterns simmers and bubbles with an undercurrent of African-influenced polyrhythms, which combine with the inventive flourishes of multi-instrumentalist Adam Jay Weissman and the drop-dead gorgeous vocals of Genevieve Artadi to create a bold, vivid mix. The pace has a rapid forward-propulsion that is infectious. In the few moments where the album slows to catch its breath, on tracks like "You're Okay" and "Our Home Became a House," the band infuses some unnerving Moroder-esque synths to keep you on the edge of your seat. And it works.
