Polkadot's CYLS debut LP "...to be crushed" oozes sincerity and charm in spades. On their sophomore album, the band alternates between a flurry of bright crunchy riffs to moments of subtle dynamics that really highlight the sincere and poignant vocals. It feels like there was a sense of urgency here, like the band knew they struck gold and couldn't stop until the vein was mined dry.

lyrics
I’ve never felt so bored
Or scared to be alone
It might not be the things i thought i wanted
The things i thought took time
Fly by and cross my mind
I know sometimes that losing is just part of it
But i don’t wanna be stuck
In this place anymore
Or maybe i do i guess
I’m not so sure
I’ve always been in love
For five years or so
I guess the things i know aren’t what you know anymore
And if it’s all just a game
I’m playing it this way
Avoiding all the things that make me own it
But i don’t wanna be stuck
In this place anymore
Or maybe i do i guess
I’m not so sure
But if i stay here i know
I’ll make it out alive
I know i’ll make it
I know i’ll make it out alright

I'd never heard of these guys before I saw them open for The Decemberists in Atlanta this past weekend, but I was hooked from those first driving notes of "Making Noise..." and by the time they were three songs in, I weirdly had one foot in 1993 again with the other squarely here in 2024. This album is everything you want it to be, with some bonuses. Hard to pick an actual favorite track, but "The Window" does make me choke up a little bit, and "It's Alive!" is a consistent earworm.
