: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Dance music can only suspend your belief for so long these days. :,
: COVID has lapped us, and what used to be baked-in elements of :
:' our musical experience arenÆt around anymoreùthe sparks of ':
,: connection that fly at a club set, the momentum that builds :,
: during a live show. We need to grieve those serendipitous nights :
:' out, the ones that felt as if they simply sprung from a passing ':
,: lusty synth line like RooseveltÆs 2015 song ôNight Moves,ö and :,
: we havenÆt had the chance. But itÆs 2021, and on RooseveltÆs :
:' latest album Polydans, Marius Lauber is still offering the ':
,: illusion of open space and carefree thoughts. :,
: :
:' Lauber started out as a DJ in Cologne at 19, jumping from band ':
,: to band until he started making music as Roosevelt. Where some :,
: electronic pop acts might swaddle a song in gauze, LauberÆs :
:' music evokes an earnest sweetness, forming crisp melodies ':
,: around his smooth vocals. The snappy, cooled-off attitude of :,
: songs like 2013Æs ôElliotö landed him on international festival :
:' stages, a lifestyle that manifested on 2019Æs glossy Young ':
,: Romance. :,
: :
:' Polydans floats between glorifying the past and dreaming of a ':
,: future that might not come. On ôFeels Right,ö Lauber sings of :,
: running into the dusk, pretending ôit ainÆt that hard to carry :
:' on.ö The bouncing hook on ôForgetö is sweet enough to dream ':
,: along with your headphones. ItÆs almost hard to believe an album :,
: this syrupy came from within the same four walls of isolation as :
:' the rest of us. The mysterious depth that shadowed RooseveltÆs ':
,: earlier work feels sugarcoated. :,
: :
:' What to do with the deep-fried Myspace-era nostalgia and ôworld ':
,: keeps turningö platitudes of a song like ôLoversö? ItÆs hard to :,
: remember a time where this wouldÆve hit the spot. RooseveltÆs :
:' flavor of dance-pop is meant to be played under bright festival ':
,: lights, and a wide, empty transition track like ôMontjuicö would :,
: be perfect for the encoreùbut on record, itÆs just not the same. :
:' ':
,: Polydans closes with a hint of the moody, steamy dance music :,
: Roosevelt was born to make. The wistful groove of ôSignö reveals :
:' a glimmer of the grief and loss beneath the saccharine sheen: ':
,: ôCome back and give me a sign of your love.ö Still, itÆs not :,
: enough to contain your skepticism after the music stops. :
