Imagine Jeff Buckley fronting a late-Nineties alternative rock band – from Soundgarden’s catharsis to Radiohead’s contemplation – and you’re at least halfway there. This is conveyed with patience and utmost sincerity, from Carey Head’s Buckley-esque howl to the band’s direct yet emotional performance. Pollux’s music would make a fine blanket for a cloudy day.
