Swooning right now over the total French mood that is Polo & Pans latest drop. The duo effortlessly blends electro, pop, and dance beats, a mastery that the French seem to have uniquely perfected.
The vocals, especially in the title track, ‘Carrossel Do Tempo,’ are nothing short of captivating, courtesy of the enigmatic Brazilian vocalist Abrão, whose silky narrations are introduced by regal trumpets.
Language is no barrier here; music, after all, is a universal communicator, and this EP beautifully exemplifies that sentiment. The marriage of electronic elements with horns creates a sound that leaves little to be desired. How they managed to encapsulate four distinct moods into one EP is a testament to their artistry.
Carrossel Do Tempo was written and recorded across the globe, a feat that showcases a seamless sonic continuity. Collaborations and production were elevated to new heights, with LA-based Italian composer Daniele Luppi adding a classic Hollywood touch to the arrangements and strings.
‘Chamallow’ is transportive, whisking you away to the streets and countryside of Paris, a heartfelt ode to family and love. It provides a serene contrast to the week’s end-of-office commotion, offering a Sunday mood when you need it most.
‘Charanga’ brings the festivities to life, painting a vivid picture of a night spent reveling in a South American jungle rave, surrounded by playful spirits aglow with mischief and enigma. The EP concludes with ‘Nagori,’ a breezy, toe-tapping charmer that evokes the languid ambiance of poolside hangouts as the late summer sun sets.
Polo & Pan’s Carrossel Do Tempo EP is a testament to their ability to seamlessly meld diverse cultural influences. Their live performance, with linen suits, artful theatrics, and the hypnotic allure of the pan flute, elevates their music to an unforgettable experience. It’s not just a concert; it’s a celebration of pure, unbridled joy.
