The musician and composer known as
Polar Echo has released his latest official single, “Chest on
Fire.” The single has been proudly published on the Timlin Records
independent music label without the direction of the corporate music
industry. Driving, genuine and passionate, “Chest on Fire”
showcases Polar Echo as one of the more intriguing surprises of 2018
so far.
Polar Echo cites as main artistic
influences Led Zeppelin, Muse, Genesis, Pink Floyd and, as he puts it
himself, “of course the Spin Doctors.”
Polar Echo began as a solo project with
a debut record, “One,” at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
The project grew into what has been described as a “power trio,”
and hosted a charity event they called the “Echo of Ukraine” in
February 2015. The success of this event had enough momentum to
propel Polar Echo through a kind of Oregon State tour including
venues such as the 2015 OSU Dam Jam – Battle of the Bands, the Tour
de Franzia, and the White Eagle in Portland. Additionally, Polar Echo
has been the house band for a late-night show and made appearances on
both KBVR radio and TV stations.
Asked to describe the main artistic
message of his “Chest on Fire” single, Polar Echo writes, “This
single is long overdue. It was written a while ago. Life gets in the
way for all of us, but three years later – here we are! Doing what
you love gets more difficult. It's important. You just have to make
it urgent.”
Polar Echo's start in music began, in
his words, “By biting off a piece of a key on a 50-year-old Belarus
upright piano at the age of three.”
Since 2016, Polar Echo writes, performs
and records music in Seattle, WA. He may be seen at his popular
Instagram hashtag #FollowGuitar, in which photos he is pictured at an
array of bucolic scenes in the Washington area with a variety of
guitars.
Polar Echo may be heard as the resident
musician at Al's Den at the Crystal Hotel in Portland, OR from Aug.
19-25.
“Chest on Fire” by Polar Echo is
available online worldwide from over 600 quality digital music stores
now.
