L.A. trio Pollyn’s languid, atmospheric electropop sounds as if it were made on slow simmer – not even the disco beats on its debut album “This Little Night” seem to faze singer Genevieve Artadi, whose sultry vocals recall the David Arnold-composed “James Bond” soundtracks. The soundscapes laid down by guitarist Anthony Cava and beats/effects guy Adam Jay Weissman (whose remixes have tackled the likes of Gorillaz and Buffalo Daughter) never get too obstreperous or glitchy; it’s all about vibe on the follow-up to the band’s EP “Songs for Sale.” Artadi’s stylings aren’t quite Shirley Manson’s “Milk,” but they’re a tall glass of something smooth.
