The best kept secret in music

The pair, unconstrained by their young years and the fact that they only played their first live set back in April, have already showcased a wealth of talent. Whether it’s their woozy, minimalist re-imagining of Arctic Monkeys’ ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ or playfully toying with Alt-J’s Breezeblocks and racking up the soundcloud plays. Their own creations display their knack at creating smooth pop with a shadowy cool edge and thanks to Kat’s vocals an evident persona that their more established peers often lack. - Drowned In Sound
With pumping electronic beats and dark brooding undertones, POLO have already established themselves as true artists in their field. Describing themselves as an eclectic mixture of future garage, chill wave and dream pop, you could be forgiven for not fully understanding what was coming your way. The twosome turns the stereotypical electronic genre upside down and inside out, experimenting fearlessly with offbeat timing, vocal manipulation and a hint of tasteful reverb. - Sound Sphere Magazine
UK duo POLO (Luke Lount & Kat McHugh) have got me all out of sorts. The dark and industrial vibe is driving me deep. There’s a growing space in my head.
The droning bass is reverberating off the walls. Wistful.
The whining synth leaves behind echoed streaks like neon on water.
The yearning vocals promise there’s more.
I feel like I’m shooting through Tron. Destination: anywhere.
