Polo, a synth-pop trio from Leeds have released the tracks Gold Horizon and Soak that comes off their forthcoming EP Alice. Singer Kate McHugh lost her phone, decided not to replace it, and disconnected herself from the information world. Time away led to deep heartfelt lyrics. The band just wrapped up several shows that had them performing their new EP in full. Kate notes, “The EP, more than anything, has allowed us to create a piece of work that defines who we are and where we were at one particular point. You can’t always do that with just single releases. We have a body of work that has really introduced us, and from here we can really explore.”
