about
"Pollen City" by Foyer Red is out 9/27/2022
Foyer Red’s “Pollen City” is their first collaboratively written song as a 5 -piece and acts as a transition from their beginnings in a basement practice space during the depths of the early pandemic into their current iteration. The ebb and flow of the catchy guitar lines imitate the
awakening from winter into spring, when the buzzy energy of the change of seasons, captured in Elana Riordan’s vocal fluctuations, brings the city back to life. Sonically, the band is playing with overlapping vocals, distortion effects, and synths. They allow their slinky guitar lines and
swelling rhythm section to propel the song before it inevitably culminates in a cacophonous, cathartic release.
lyrics
POLLEN CITY
find a flavor you can taste
let it take you far away
so i’ve got some wicked ways
now you’re sneezing on the train
bright yellow pavement haunts like a ghost
it’s pollen city
february stolen senses
reinforce all of the fences
you’d never know come spring cuz
the crab apples rot before they fall
but i...
bright yellow pavement haunts like a ghost
it’s pollen city
yet another scrambled channel
signal more than you can handle
caterpillars all in a line
while you are taking YOUR
SWEET time
time

Bouncy, urgent, raucous indie rock, anthemic yet unpredictable; this Oxford, U.K. trio sounds defiantly full of life. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2020
Aussie cosmonauts teleport their art rock to the dancefloor, expanding their spaced-out sound with elements of disco and synthpop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 17, 2022
Once you start listening, good luck stopping. Banger after banger. Could not choose a favorite song for the life of me. Reminds me of a lot of goth new wave I listened to growing up, yet is novel and original in its own right. Play this at my birthday, wedding, funeral, play this when I'm stuck in purgatory for eternity. Stacie DaPonte
