I've been playing 'Polly Scattergood', the debut album by Polly Scattergood a lot these past couple of days.
Quirky,thoughtful,sometimes quiet electro pop music that might appeal to anyone into Stina / Tori / Kate / Emiliana.
It certainly appeals to me and songs like 'Poem Song' & 'Breathe In,Breathe Out' are already firm favourites.

Always good to support a local artist too.

Re: Polly Scattergood
I've listened to the tracks but they don't really grab me. It seems that Polly doesn't get very good reviews:

Re: Polly Scattergood
Reading that list of comments i thought they were fairly balanced and fair. I've listened to the album about a dozen times now and its grower. For a debut i'm impressed enough to think she's got enough talant to have a long career anyway. I hope so as i'm spending enough grabbing up all her promos before they become too scarce.pgss wrote:I've listened to the tracks but they don't really grab me.

I'm a bigfan of Emilie's music and I can't find some close link to her here.aermancer wrote:RobB wrote: pretty good, her singing reminds me of Emilie Simon a bit.
Polly is a poor mix of female artists, unluckily not the good parts were taken.
I believe in your smile everyday
But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light

Re: Polly Scattergood
Its not the same style of music but there is something in their singing 'accents' that to me sounds similar.alx5962 wrote:I'm a bigfan of Emilie's music and I can't find some close link to her here.
Re: Polly Scattergood
I'll skip the second album (Arrows) and so here we are, eleven years on, and its album #3, In This Moment. I've been playing it a lot over the last few days and really enjoying it. Its certainly attracting a lot of positive reviews and there is much to be enjoyed here,especially for anyone into electro-pop with vintage synths to the fore.
