New Polara EP is out!




Just a quick reminder that the new Polara EP, "Green Shoes + 4," is now available for sale. The first new music from Ed Ackerson and crew in 3 years, this EP picks up right where "Jetpack Blues" left off. Full of the trademark progressive noisepop that Polara is famous for, this new EP is phase 1 in Polara's 2005 resurgence. Highlights include the roaring fury of the title song (currently being played on 89.3 / "The Current"), "30 Seconds" (which sounds like an unholy alliance between My Bloody Valentine and Big Star), "Teapot Tempest" (a deliciously catchy scorcher that rocks as hard as anything Polara's ever done) and "Time Slips Away" (a wistful ballad that sounds like it was unearthed from some long-lost 1966 Stones session).

Twin Citians can buy the Polara EP at the Electric Fetus and several other local independent outlets. It's also available on-line through the Susstones Shop: http://www.susstonesshop.com/

This is a limited edition release; when they're gone, they're gone. Look for more "teasers" in the coming months, as well as Polara's much anticipated return to live action.
