Polartropica, with Edgar Everyone

Polartropica’s profile has gone north since the (unfortunately timed) release of their debut album, “Dreams Come True,” in March 2020.

Notable was the 2022 video for “What’s Your Fantasy,” a tribute to L.A.’s queer and trans community, which ended up earning plaudits in film festivals and short film/music video contests.

Now Ihui Cherise Wu, maker of dress-up dream-pop, psychedelic disco and intergalactic goth-pop, is back with a new single, “Ride or Die.” Collaborating on this one is L.A.-based Frenchman Jules de Gasperis, aka Edgar Everyone, and sure enough, “Ride or Die” has more of a Euro feel. In sum, it’s a summery bop about the urges that changes in season bring.

Now if only the May gray (and June gloom) would go away.
