New Chill Wave band from Boston: Polaroids

Everybodys favorite form of instant pix is back as a… band, with a debut EP! Polaroid is Tim Oxton’s new music project. One can see the correlation between the 5 track lo-fi self-titled EP with the legendary instant photo format – these tunes are totally bleached out and instantly gratifying. "Eighties Night" – streaming below – is a standout, with a super Real Estate-y vibe and a thrummed guitar chord progression reminiscent of Beach House. The combination of home recording with synths, a drum machine, and guitar reverb puts this band straight up in the chill-wave department. Polaroids performed for the first time at Great Scott November 28th for local blog Allston Pudding’s November Mixtape show. – Hillary Anderson
