Back when we were young and alive, a friend would often drive up to our crib, tell us to get in the car, and off we’d go without knowing just where we were headed. But we knew it’d be a good time, and the journey was always as much fun as the destination. That’s our vibe as soon as we hit play on Sandhouse’s captivating new single, a riveting fit of warped psychedelia and nocturnal alt-pop called “Pollyanna” that aches and purrs with distorted rock and roll recklessness and a hazy sense of wanderlust. The South London duo dropped this casual crusher today (June 3), and here’s what Anna Sutherland and Caspar Holloway have to say about it: “‘Pollyanna’ is about becoming numbed by the cinema of infatuation, and using the fairytale of romance to blindly ignore any signs of reality.” Get in, let’s ride.
