Alt-rock band, Dirty Blonde announce new EP Looking for Trouble alongside new single ‘Polly’. Dirty Blonde’s latest track, ‘Polly’, bursts onto the scene with grunge-infused guitar riffs. Channeling the raw energy of Pixies, the narrative flair of Taylor Swift, and the bold swagger of 90s Garbage, this sapphic anthem captures the unpredictable thrill of falling in love.
Speaking of current single ‘Polly’, the band say, “We wrote ‘Polly’ about that messy, crying on your bathroom floor, unpredictable side of falling in love that no one talks about. Someone can give you all the reassurance in the world but how do you know that it won’t all come crashing down?”
Falling in love is often romanticised as effortless and idyllic, but Dirty Blonde’s ‘Polly’ dives headfirst into the other side that isn’t so widely spoken about. Despite its emotional depth, ‘Polly’ keeps an upbeat vibe, capturing the exhilaration of love while staying honest about its complexities. Born out of a spontaneous collaboration with their producer during a COVID-induced break, the song started as a fast-paced grunge experiment before evolving into its current form. The band also release their DIY music video for ‘Polly’complete with yellow lyric captions inspired by Arab-Australian artist Sarah Bahbah.
