Polevaulter’s ‘Hang Wave’ is a sonic doomsday

Polevaulter's debut album "Hang Wave" is a raw, intense fusion of jagged electronic synths and dance-punk influences. UK duo Jon Franz and Daniel Wearmouth, with producer Shaene Hunter, recorded the album live to capture its gritty authenticity. Tracks like "Mia Goth Made Me Do It" and "Pissed in the Baths" evoke sonic anxiety and turmoil, combining aggressive beats and noise.
