Description:
* Popfrenzy Records are very pleased to announce their first Australian signing - INSTITUT POLAIRE!
* Perth based band Institut Polaire were destined from the start to have a dizzying array of influences. With a palette of sounds ranging from country tinged psychedelia to 60's soundtracks, bubblegum pop to kraut-rock, Institut Polaire are musically schizophrenic; taking little pieces of each genre to create a special blend of their own.
* Institut Polaire has grown from humble three piece roots into a full-blown collective who currently number between 7 and 9 members toting everything from vintage Wurlitzer pianos to violins, banjos, trumpets, Powerbooks and glockenspiels.
* The past twelve months have been exciting times for the collective. They’ve shared the stage with such acclaimed artists such as Architecture in Helsinki, Jens Lekman, Lou Barlow, Gerling, Starky and The Panics. Furthermore, their track "City Walls and Empires" recently won them the prestigious WAMI "Song of the Year" 2006 Award.
* 2007 held a few more big wins beginning with Triple J’s Unearthed award for WA resulting in a slot at Perth Big Day Out and national airplay.
