about
Rama Lama Records proudly welcomes long time favourites Mary Anne’s Polar Rig to the family! “MAPR” are a band we have followed since the debut single ‘Surfaced’ was released in 2018, a song we still regularly play on our gig nights. The debut album ‘Makes You Happy’ was released in 2021 and continued to build their signature style somewhere in between slacker rock and fuzz pop. Mary Anne’s Polar Rig are now back with the new single ‘Summer Girl’, to be released September 13th.
Mary Anne’s Polar Rig are a duo who’s a part of a new generation of bands from Malmö where noisy feedback loops and distorted solos are as important as cute melodies and dancy chord progressions. Paired with a careless attitude á la Pavement but with a more explosive sound and an extremely energetic live performance they create a unique combination of slacker rock and fuzz pop which is both catchy and cocky at the same time. Live they are joined by 3 more band members who adds extra depth to their sound.
In this melodic guitar inferno Mary Anne’s Polar Rig go on a cruise that will remind you of some classic 90’s bands like Weezer and The Breeders. In a leather racing suit Fast Malin Hofvander embodies the anti summer girl, sweating on the beach, while Filthy Harald Ingvarsson plays a dune-top-tapping-guitar-solo in uncomfortably tight clothing. This is a groovy rock banger served sunny side up and YOU are here to lean back and enjoy the ride.
‘Summer Girl’ is available to stream and download now via Swedish indie label Rama Lama Records (Melby, Steve Buscemi's Dreamy Eyes, Wy, Kindsight etc.) Mary Anne’s Polar Rig are “Fast” Malin Hofvander and “Filthy” Harald Ingvarsson.
lyrics
i’m your summer girl cause i’m a girl in the summer sun haha
watch me
sweat til i pass out
and i always was a good girl so i behaved and got top grades
well now watch me
shred every book i ever read
you know, cause i believe in numbers, possibilities that intwine
yeah i’ll wait for the stars to align
and they say you can be who you wanna be
but i find it hard to be anything but me
yeah they say you can be who you wanna be
but i tried and it’s hard to be anything but me
and every morning when i wake up, you know i tell myself!
that i’m a normal person cause i don’t act out
on
every
single
weird impulse i get
well now watch me hold it in
til i pass out
yeah watch me hold it in
til i pass out
yeah watch me hold it in
til i pass out
yeah watch me hold it in
til i pass
