after some time a new release is upon us, this time in the form of the one-man band from italy; quiroga has previously released an ep on cactus island titled 'am i high?' and for this next release we have captured the full-on, full-length quiroga sound. 'poladroid' is always open, a sound of electronic funk firmly wedged in the modern day but with emphasis on nostalgic times and sonic journeys into outer space. this is top-shelf music, both quirky and crunchy, 'poladroid' is a new language of musical colour, a spellbinding mix of robot-funk that is indestructible. the sound of summer in this cold winter. 'poladroid' is available for download now!
