Polly Scattergood
– and what a name that is - is that rare talent, a musician and
songwriter who can make the disturbing sound delightful. The 25
year-old musician's self-titled debut (released in 2009) was
contextually dark and startling, yet coupled with her innocent, girlish
vocals, delivered a finished product of jubilant experimental pop.
However,
one would be remiss to pigeonhole her into a "singer-songwriter" or
"experimental pop" category, as the artist's view of her own work is
quite different. The greatest fear of this expressive musician is
being limited limited to one singular genre. She emphasizes, “I would
be really gutted if I was put in a box marked ‘experimental pop’ and
then maybe one day I decided to write a blues song or an acoustic rock
song and I found it difficult because I’d been boxed up as an
‘experimental pop’ thing.”
With three years past since the release of her debut, Polly Scattergood has
harnessed her afflication to classification and has created a more
mature, yet still inately unique, Sophomore album. In anticipation and
excitement for this release, due out Spring 2013, she is pleased to
share with the world her track "Disco Damaged Kid" which can be streamed here as well as via her lyric video.
