 This is a new collection of new avant/derriere songs. P1's further commitment to the idea of orchestrating with genre as well as instruments and sonics. Delirium, stories and op-ed are sung and rapped over funky electronica and surprising genre-blending recipes: a woozy blues/cha cha-from-hell paeon to a 1950's aging Jewish hitman, a blues rock/Afrobeat/samba about living in the blue light of tv addiction. A dirty folky country children's song is propelled by a groove from northern Brazil. There's a roots blues song about greasy love and infotainment that's full of jazz reggae; a cover of a Brazilian classic that Polar sings in Portugeuse in a traditional samba canção format with a smatter of electronic noise, metal guitar and electronically mutated metal wastebasket. Sweaty on the bottom and literate on top.

BUY "PRETTIER THAN YOU" FROM THESE FINE RETAILERS:
The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests: conjoined opposites -- a mash up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip hop/nu-jazz and old; roots music of America (blues, funk, country, early jazz), Brazil (samba, pagoda, etc.) and West African groove science. Polarity also describes the dual streams of Polarity/1's musical output: songs and instrumentals.
