[Listen | Purchase] Jon Elliott closes up his eight-year run operating under the Polestar moniker and leaves Boltfish, as well as his listeners, with a 6-track album full of shiny, metallic shards of electrical trickery.
Obsessed with complicated beats, “Derelict Disued” unfolds like a cataclysmic event soaked in microscopic drum’n bass and a delicate groove that sparkles from the first to last seconds. “A Person of the Past” projects a reserved, almost downtempo synth aesthetic that manages to evoke a sense of peace and calm in the myriad of complex beats surrounding this release. “Music For Abandoned Factories” is an apt title crossing 4-minutes of delectable electronics and a subtle passage through casually complicated percussion that ends too soon to fully appreciate. The title track is perhaps the defining moment for End Of An Era, as it delivers heartfelt slices of electronic beats, snaps and pulses.
End Of An Era may be Polestar’s final musical offering, however, if the closing track (“Legacy,” audio stream below) is an indication of the artists ability to craft sonic ambient masterpieces, then we’re definitely looking forward to the next iteration of this sound as it just may very well be the finest of the lot.
End Of An Era is out now on Boltfish. [Listen | Purchase]
