The lovelorn “Fallout“‘s made the rounds, now there’s another serving from Alan Palomo’s forthcoming Era Extraña. It’s called “Polish Girl,” it is about a Polish girl, and it makes interesting, intuitive allies out of Neon Indian and M83 vis a vis the latter’s “Midnight City.” Beyond the obvious synth-ronicity between their approaches to dance pop, “Polish Girl” and “Midnight City” make a fine pair by immediately establishing compact keyboard motifs (6 notes and 4 notes, respectively) and letting them repeat while the scenery and chords beneath change shape and structure. Minds steeped in the ’80s, thinking alike. When you DJ next, take them back-to-back.

Hopefully, this is what the majority of the album will sound like, because Alan done good.
We can only hope for a synth-ronized dance music video to accompany this song.
I instantly broke into dance when hearing “Polish Girl” — glad to see it’s the lead song on the album (I consider the “Heart” sections intro/interlude/outro respectively)
i believe Midnight City is a much better song
Amen to that. M83 is a real artist unlike this vibed out blowhard.
you are entitled to your opinion, as am I, and mine is that m83′s new album better kick a lot more ass than his previous works, they have no soul at all. But I will admit that the more recent the album, the more I like it, so maybe his newest one might be half as good as Psychic chasms if he keeps improving.
+1000. Not vibing on the two new Palomo tracks. Anticipating a flop.
Well, I haven’t heard that new M83 song yet, but I really enjoy this one! So stop hatin’. Plus, I saw M83 live and really didn’t enjoy it that much, while Neon Indian, on the other hand, is AMAZING live.
Oh and FTR I meant to reply to the comment about Palomo being a “vibed out blowhard” or whatever.
I consistently get fucked by the links on this website, anyone else have that problem?
ps, this song tight.
Pretty sweet song! He is a synth master!
This and the new M83 song are similar in that they feature a synth riff, but they are on two separate playing fields. M83′s track is amazing for how blown out and huge it sounds, this song is fantastic for its laid-back vibe and groove. Also, this song has a much catchier vocal part, while M83′s song is mostly a showcase for the gigantic synth riffs. Both are great.
Get outta here!
Okay, if you’re gonna spam the comments section (or is it “trolling”? I don’t know), at the very least use correct punctuation! I don’t know if your girlfriends camera was $34 or $26…as this could be very valuable information for me, the consumer.
