Polar have unleashed a video for their single “Deus Ex Machina”, featuring guest vocals by Comeback Kid’s Andrew Neufeld. Guitarist Fabian said of working with Neufeld:
“Comeback Kid were a huge influence on Polar when we started and a real bucket list moment for us to have him on there. We played shows together last year and kept in touch ever since. When we were in the studio we had this part that was perfect for him, we sent him the track, he was into really it and you know the rest is history. It’s classic Neufeld…exactly what we were looking for and to boot he’s made an appearance in the video too.”
Regarding the song itself, the band offered:
“Modern day life is being lived through ever present technological devices and social media forums, people are forgetting what it’s like to actually have real opinions, real experiences and real friends. Concerts are great examples of this, where people just stand and film it rather than actually enjoying and experiencing it. Technology seems to have a strangle hold on people, the title ‘Deus Ex Machina’ means god in the machine, and one day it may take over… its certainly seems to be heading that way.”
The group’s new album, No Cure No Saviour, is out now on Prosthetic Records and available for purchase through the label (NA), the band’s website (EU/U.K.), iTunes, Amazon, and Bandcamp.
Additionally, the group have released a tour of Europe and their native U.K. in support of the record. Joining them on the run will be Giants, To The Wind, and My Only. Tickets are available now and can be purchased at this location. Dates for the trek can be found below:
