Cello-shredding rock siren Polly Panic is back with her third studio album Losing Form, newly released on CD and digitally via Write Hook Records. This is Polly Panic's first album in six years, following Fragment (2012) and Painkiller (2006).
Polly Panic is Jenette Mackie, who wrote and recorded the 10 songs comprising this album in 2016-2017, sandwiching the process around time spent rehearsing and touring both coasts with her cello-driven band Rasputina, founded by Melora Creager and formerly including Zoë Keating and Julia Kent.
Arguably the best Polly Panic album yet, this also represents a turning point for this artist, having joined forces with Write Hook Records on the heels of touring as part of Rasputina. Inspired by PJ Harvey, Tom Waits, Tori Amos, 2Cellos, Apocalyptica and Nirvana, this is cello-driven dark art rock with intense, powerful vocals and lyrics that take center stage.
Polly Panic comments: "This album represents the strength to march on, being inspired by self-examination and reason for existence. I knew the cello could be everything. Of all the instruments, the cello is closest to the human voice and its capacity for expressing emotion is unparalleled. It was the most fierce and yet the softest most sorrowful instrument I had ever heard." Listen to the title track and watch the video "Losing Form" in the player below.
