When approaching ‘Polyester Lies’, the keen listener must be ready for a hypnotising, nuanced sonic journey, certainly not your typical indie or rock record. A sort of eclectic anthem, the track lives at the intersection of fuzzy guitars, spacious psych tones and indie wittiness, managing to create a charming and lively atmosphere, the perfect match for Gavin Sultan’s dynamic and evocative vocals.
Taking inspiration from the likes of King Krule and Nick Hakim, ‘Polyester Lies’ gets drenched in a myriad of sweeping textures and short bursts of saxophone energy, taking the track to an end in mesmerising and euphoric fashion. Honestly, it’s a really good record, and if you are normally a fan of psych rock – or even shoegaze and indie – you will certainly resonate with it.
Produced alongside Jasper Harris and Rowan Martin, ‘Polyester Lies’ focuses on delivering “a spirited plea to ‘geezers’ to live a more meaningful life” – as Sultan proudly explains.
