It’s been a long time since we’ve given you a hometown single of the week. A lot of that is due to, well, not going to shows and getting blown away by someone new live. Instead, we need to get blown away in our headphones, which is exactly what Susan Darvishi did. “Polaroid” is a big, classic new wave song, in the vein of Human League. The synths are warm and lovely, not cold like a lot of dance music suffers from. And the best part is the lyrics- we have a real story with a beginning, middle, and end that takes you on a night out. She actually brings you to a space where we can see our friends, meet new people, dance, and live life like we haven’t been able to in over a year at this point. It’s the perfect COVIDversary track, and, in its own way, is helping me remember that there is an end, and we will get to that place again.
You can find “Polaroid” and the rest of her excellent catalog in all the usual places! Rumor has it a full length will be dropping before the year is out!
