Acclaimed band PolSky has finally dropped their highly anticipated debut LP, โExecutive Functions,โ and it absolutely lives up to the hype. The record is a bold step into uncharted territory, where dancefloor bangers collide with caustic social commentary.
A brilliant amalgamation of Indie, Pop, Rock, and Electro sensibilities, the record packs a punch with its infectious energy and thought-provoking lyrics. Each track has a story to tell, and theyโre all about aspects of modern life that hit home. PolSky delves fearlessly into the complexities of the modern world, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of musical greatness.
The opening track, โSwitchboard Operatorโ, delves into the dangers of instant messaging and the emotional turmoil that comes with it, while โ100 Million Ways to Dieโ serves as a cautionary tale against falling for deceptive schemes.
Continuing with their astute social commentary, โCultureโ focuses on the current โCulture Warsโ and dissects who truly benefits from the divisive narratives perpetuated by various groups.
โSong for the Silver Surferโ takes a unique approach, exploring themes of unrequited love and loneliness while also delving into the future of the dating industry in the context of the Metaverse.
The final track, โRainbow Roadโ, is a powerful exploration of the pull to escape the complexities of life, whether through video game addiction or seeking refuge from the decline of the western capitalist paradigm.
All in all, โExecutive Functionsโ is more than just an LP; itโs a manifesto of musical rebellion. PolSky has etched their mark on the contemporary music landscape with this one, pushing the boundaries of what a band can achieve.
