   About Polara
New Polara album "Beekeeping" out now! Buy it on Polara - Beekeeping

Ed Ackerson solo albums also available! Ed Ackerson

Polara has been making its own brand of experimental pop noise over the course of five albums, three singles, two EP's, and five record labels. Combining hooks and sonic mayhem in ways both futuristic and classicist, the band is releasing its long-awaited fifth album Beekeeping on Minneapolis' Susstones label. Most importantly, the band's core members Ed Ackerson, Jennifer Jurgens, and Peter Anderson are still creating new sounds on their own terms and having a blast doing it.

New Boe Weaver single out today.... As always a double A Monster Maker - Wailing psychedelic guitar versus smoked-out keys... man versus monster... the big final battle that sees blood shed on the desk, the eyeball to eyeball... amped up, beefed up sonic attack sees the victor stood cold sweats. Blooded, victorious and damned. I Think You Two Should Leave - Funk, as imagined by Tortoise taking on The James Gang... white boy distorted funk meets gonzoid electronics, all shot in Super 8 with Bruce Lee. its up on itunes now so click the link below to grab yourself a copy! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=320634214&s=143444
