Description
The streaming take over has finally caught up with Ma Polaine. After years of self-sufficiency this fifth album needs a crowd funder to get completed. The songs are recorded, so with just the mix, master, pressing and promotion to pay for, we?re out on the road armed with our back catalogue and the new album pre-sales.
Ma Polaine?s Great Decline are an award-winning band praised by MOJO Magazine for their unique blend of pop, folk, blues, and Americana. Ma Polaine?s music resonates as both comfortably familiar and refreshingly innovative, creating a truly engaging experience.
With airplay on BBC 6 and BBC Radio 2, and the support of Cerys Matthews, the band's genre-defying charm unfolds through songs that explore the intricacies of human connections, weaving tales of light and dark with uplifting melodies and
heartfelt storytelling.
Based in Somerset, UK, Ma Polaine have a sound that is their own. Beth and Clinton both grew up with jazz, blues and soul, using those influences and a love for individuality to write songs that are simultaneously dark and light, featuring Beth?s effortlessly distinctive vocals and evocative lyrics, coupled with Clinton?s understated guitar style.
Their recent live album release drew this comparison from Fatea magazine: ?a
cocktail that is one part Beth Gibbons from Portishead, a measure of Holiday edge and one part Rockabilly growl?.
