Wave Machines Pollen CD

2013 sophomore album from the Liverpool outfit. Working with producer Lexxx (Wild Beasts, Bjork), who produced and mixed the album alongside the band, this long awaited follow-up reveals a darker, more nuanced vision for the lush disco-hook. Simultaneously intimate and epic, haunting and direct, Pollen takes the sonic palette the band developed on their debut and simultaneously expands it and makes it denser. Featuring the single 'Ill Fit', 'Pollen' points towards what will be a massive return-to-the-fray for one of the most promising acts of the last few years.
