Escucharemos

Back in August Spanish indie rockers Polock released their first album Getting Down From The Trees. The Valencia natives’ ten-track full-length sounds at times like an old record by The Strokes or Arctic Monkeys, but what I couldn’t shake during my first listen through was how every song seems like it could easily be a tune off the next Phoenix album. Perhaps it’s the accented vocals, which are actually far more similar to those of Polock’s compatriot Ekhi Lopetegi (of Delorean) than Thomas Mars’. I highly recommend that you pick up the group’s debut LP over at Mushroom Pillow. It’s definitely no Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix but I’ll go ahead and place Getting Down From The Trees above United and Alphabetical and right alongside It’s Never Been Like That. If they’re as similar to Phoenix as I’d like to think, I’ll have to make sure to catch Polock live next time they hop across the pond. Catch ‘Fireworks’ below.
