With enchanting vocals and romantic yet often comedic lyrical sentiments, this powerful pair draws you in quickly and leaves you wanting more. Enough to have already captured the attention of John Platt, who invited the duo to be a part of his monthly WFUV series "On Your Radar" and described the music as "languid" and "irresistible". The group caught the eye and ear of world renowned bassist and producer Will Lee, who produced the duo's first EP, entitled In A Night, released on June 25th, 2015. Will's enthusiasm and love for the project is just another indication that Poland and Hest have stumbled on to something very special with this new partnership.
