MYPHNH(BS) - Polaris At Noon

Sometimes people email me. Sometimes people tweet me. Then there are times that I randomly stumble upon new music. And it is glorious. I wasn't sure of this group at first. Usually the groups with "Insert Three Words Here" style band names are emo and terrible. This guys is not. Music You Probably Have Never Heard (But Should) : Polaris At Noon.


This "group" is comprised of solely Jason Suwito,  and he creates some very nice dance tracks with very haunting vocals summoning thoughts of Depeche Mode. The new EP may only have three tracks, but it leaves a lasting impression. "Pleasure and Pain" may be one of the most under rated songs of the year thus far, sending all it's listeners back to the golden age of the 80s while remaining distinctly modern and new.

Currently unsigned, Polaris At Noon is an amazing solo project, producing quality music. Many indie artist fall prey to lack of budget or resources. This new EP was obviously the culmination of hard work, as it sounds great and has a lot of emotion and drive behind it that is missing from a lot of more quickly produced mainstream tracks.

He is currently on tour with British sensation Sam Sparro, who has a very similar musical sound. It might just be  a perfect combination, and I can only hope that the two of them have some kind of collaboration in the works.

You can pick up the EP for yourself on iTunes. Be sure and fan him on Facebook to get a taste of the EP for yourselves. It is pretty rad.
