I am seeing Polaris tonight and I am very excited. I don't much care about the other bands playing (Wage War, Like Moths to Flames, Dayseeker) but I cannot loving wait for Polaris since I missed them last time they came around with ABR

I'm jealous. I was close to making the 8 hour drive to Denver to see them but it didn't work out. The Mortal Coil turns 2 on Sunday and I'm still obsessed with it.

I've played the album a few times and always enjoy it, but then immediately forget about them. Is a good song but I can't put my finger on why they don't stick.

This was next up and I'm also digging it. Never even heard of Imminence: https://youtu.be/2HKRfKeVS78

I like this as well, thanks for posting it.

New Counterparts is real good.

Polaris loving killed it god drat, US headlining tour when???? I need more than like 6 songs

They played a new song called Hibernating, it was really good!

I knew I should've went. But yeah, I really hope they do a headlining tour here at some point, I won't miss it. Glad they are playing some new stuff, hopefully they have a new album next year but I'm still not tired of what they have out now. Definitely my favorite band for the past two years.

It's only been one listen so I'm hoping it grows on me, but I was kind of disappointed by the new track. It feels like it's missing something.

I'm digging it. Sounds like they tried something different for this track: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/polaris-new-single-video-masochist/11677274

BMTH released a new track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWR2pkfwfuA

Sounds like they're done making full albums:

quote:

“We’ve got plans, definitely. ‘Ludens‘ will be the first song you hear from the new record. We’re not going to do an album again, maybe ever. We’re thinking about doing shorter records. I don’t want to say we’re going to do something and not live up to it, but the plan is to release multiple records next year.”

quote:

“I’m really proud of ‘amo‘, but it was such a loving ballache to make. We spent a whole loving year of our lives making that record. Part of me was like, ‘For what? We’re never going to get to play all of those songs’. You have to ration your creativity over all your songs. You write a really cool pop song then you have to write a heavy song to balance out, then you need to think about singles.”

quote:

“There’s all this poo poo you need to think about and how it’s going to sit on a 15 track album. I don’t want to do that. When we wrote ‘Ludens’, it was crazy but it was fun. We just had to write one song and it just had to serve the video game. We didn’t have to write the biggest song in the world. I just love to sit and go, ‘Let’s just write a song and not worry about how it needs to be’.”

quote:

“I like how our records go from super poppy to heavy then electronic, and next I’d like to make a bunch of records where each of them has a distinct vibe to it. It doesn’t have to be an emotional rollercoaster, you can say ‘I’m pissed off so I’ll listen to this one’ or go for something a little more sombre. There’s always a degree of compromise, but I’d love to write songs that are just the most obscure, electro-y.”

quote:

“I know our fanbase won’t be too happy if we go all the way, but if we release a short record that’s straight-up Bring Me The Horizon then another that’s electro, no one is going to give a poo poo because there’s another coming. It’s not the only record of the next three years, it’s just the record of that season.”

i definitely enjoyed it! i do however mostly want to reserve judgment until the album comes out. i don't think I want a whole album of tracks like that but if they go back and forth between that style and heavier stuff like Hypermania it's gonna be another real banger

I haven't heard Hypermania but it's had positive reactions from those that have so I agree with you, if they mix things up it's going to be really good.

That’s kind of a lot considering they only put out one new song in 2019. Try some new poo poo on now and then, my guy.

I'm always adding to my playlist but I still have the entire Mortal Coil album on my playlist and some of the older stuff so it comes up a lot. It gets harder as you get older (drat kids) and have less time to search out new music. I use this thread quite a bit and it's very helpful because you guys are always throwing new poo poo out there.

All 3 of these Polaris singles and all 3 of these Invent, Animate singles have been complete bangers. Excited to get two real strong aoty contenders in the next few weeks.

Never heard Invent, Animate and it's right in my wheelhouse. Added those three songs to my playlist. Thanks for sharing!

for anyone who cares about polaris & also vinyl: they still have pre-orders of the new one, AND i just snagged one of 6 remaining copies of The Mortal Coil they still had for like half the price they are on discogs

My vinyl preorder shipped today! (Placed my order the day they started taking them). Hopefully it's here by Friday.

Haha, came to post this. I'm so stoked for the full album. I Let The Devil in was one of my most played of 2018 (and still sees a lotta rotation).

Also that new Polaris tape is solid. I've never really listened to them much before this, so I might have to go back and check out some of the older stuff.

Yeah, I still listen to I Let The Devil in a lot as well, it's pretty much flawless.

I'm kind of surprised you haven't been in more on Polaris since I like a lot of the stuff you post in here and The Mortal Coil album is so drat good.
