Polar States Release Lana
- Written by Marky Edison
Liverpool-based indie-rockers Polar States have released their new single 'Lana' via New Moons, a new imprint to the Killing Moon Group. 'Lana' is the follow up to the bands recent single 'Roads' and showcases their signature dark pop-rock sound.
“Sometimes it’s the simplest things that leave the biggest memories”, says vocalist Paul Tong on the new track. “Your perception of nostalgia can tell you a lot about yourself and I seem to be pretty good at romanticising it. 'Lana' is one of those anthems which makes you reflect on the first days of a relationship with a mixture of emotions”. 'Lana' was produced by Larry Hibbitt (Sundara Karma, Nothing but Thieves, The Pretty Vicious), and further hones their festival-ready choruses and classic songwriting.
Forming in 2015, the band put a heavy emphasis on writing from the start, with early songs, such as ‘Concrete’, drawing on influences from their surroundings and northern roots. The song was penned about a homeless couple who vocalist Paul Tong met on the streets of Liverpool and went on to be played for 12 consecutive weeks by BBC Introducing Merseyside, leading to BBC Radio 1 airtime, and slots at Kendal Calling, Dot 2 Dot, Liverpool Sound City and The Great Escape.
