about
Polka Dots is inspired by a series of poems I wrote in 2014 right before I got together with my partner. It’s my way of letting the demons of my past relationships go out with a bang. If you think of Clean Coming as the tiny bottle of intensity, Polka Dots is king-sized (and Clovers is the antidote.)
On the surface it seems like a love song but I think of it more like an ode to codependency - constantly making demands but eventually ending up overpowered.
lyrics
Tell me I’m the only one
Take a bite of the plum
Squeeze it out dripping down
Tell me I’m ephemeral
Say it to me
I’m your only
You’re running through me
You’re running through me, honey
Throw the stick throw the ball
Throw spaghetti at the wall
Rolling tights over my thighs
Let's go out like a street light
Say it to me
I’m your only
You’re running through me
You’re running through me, honey
Running through me, honey
Rearrange the furniture
The polka dots on my comforter
Hear the mice they are circling
In the walls while you’re holding me
And I’m cracking open
And I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming, honey
Say it to me
I’m your only
You’re running through me
You’re running through me, honey
Running through me, honey
You’re gonna swallow me

OK Cowgirl is one of our favorite bands in the BK scene right now. Captivating melodies, crashing guitars, unexpected songwriting. Leah's voice is equal parts gritty and angelic. We love. Wetsuit
Pretty sure Colatura has a PhD in Writing Good Songs. Come for the janglepop anthems like "The Met", stay for shoegaze bangers like "R U Content". Colatura rips. Wetsuit
Parisian indie pop quintet En Attendant Ana bring smart songwriting and considered arrangements to their latest and strongest record. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 12, 2023
