I’m always game to support some local music, and Sam McDougle aka Polly Hi is a refreshing change of course from the out-there indie scene that is Brooklyn, NY. He doesn’t have an official EP yet, but has three very fine singles “In The Morning”, “All My Energy” and the song I’m featuring here, “Bombs & Galaxies”. Clocking in at a brief 2:05, the song features a strong acoustic hook and some spacey harmonies. It’s equal parts Vetiver and a more relaxed Elliot Smith. The strength of the song lies in the dynamic tempo shifts between verse and chorus. A catchy number from an artist to watch. A perfect song for those days where the skies are grey.
