The track is from the art-rock outfit’s upcoming sophomore LP Makes You Wonder.
Stacked full of off-kilter appeal and a lifetime of creative ideas, Mary Anne’s Polar Rig are a duo that have done a great job of establishing a sound that feels completely and entirely their own, bursting full of personality and unique charm.
Their latest release is the new single ‘It Goes’, a track that builds slowly before leaning into the duo’s famed sense of weirdness, growing more sprawling and expansive as it mutates and explores. The track perfectly encapsulates exactly what makes Mary Anne’s’ Polar Rig so memorable, the way that they get under your skin, crafting this uninhabitable, hazy dreamworld that grows more alluring and and moving the more time that you spend with it.
“‘It Goes’ just happened to be written right after I’d learned that really cool American Football riff”, says singer and guitarist Malin Hofvander, “and listened a lot to Lucy Dacus”. Guitarist Harald Ingvarsson says: “The song is built around the rhythm of a very unstable analog square wave modulation circuit. Add a veteran symphonic percussionist, a double bass player and some harsh tape noise. It’s that really cool MAPR riff”.
