Mary Anne's Polar Rig's new single “It Goes,” starts out with a false sense of restraint, before slowly expanding into the duo’s strange universe. The slow build is the key, letting each texture settle before the track mutates into something impossible to pin down. Malin Hofvander’s vocals and guitar sit beautifully against the restless architecture of Harald Ingvarsson, while the percussion, double bass and abrasive tape noise create an atmosphere that feels relaxing. The track is a perfect example of why Mary Anne's Polar Rig are so memorable, their knack for turning weird ideas into compelling experiences that get under your skin. It is a strange, adventurous and rewarding listen for those willing to give in to its strange energy.
