Polaroid Fade

American pop band Polaroid Fade presents a psychedelic proposal in their latest song titled “Any Other Way”. In this composition, we are surprised by a clean guitar that dictates the musical harmony and, at the same time, transports us to a psychological state where ecstasy and relaxation intertwine.

The result of this song is truly fantastic. In addition to the skillfully crafted guitar, we have drums and bass that work together, making the rhythm even more enjoyable to listen to. The mood of the song is sure to please everyone. And as the icing on the cake, the voice shines with perfection and passion. - Music For All

Moving down to South Jersey for this next track is the new single from Polaroid Fade, Delancey. Polaroid Fade continues to build on their blend of new wave and alternative that has captivated the local South Jersey music scene on this track, the lead single for their upcoming album. Dreamy guitars populate the mix with jazzy chords, with an upbeat tempo in the production. The lyrics have a carefree and nostalgic feel, singing about the joys of visiting the beach. - Indie Underrated

Picture an empty town down the shore, the kind where the echoes of summer laughter still haunt the deserted boardwalks. “Delancey” by South Jersey outfit Polaroid Fade is a love song, not for a person, but for a place. It serenades the silent streets, the vacant houses, and the wistful memories they hold. The melody captures the haunting beauty of an off-season beach town, where every shuttered window and weathered sign whispers tales of what once was. It’s a ballad to towns like Cape May, Avalon, and Stone Harbor, where the sea breeze carries ghosts of past romances and promises unkept.

Polaroid Fade sailed into the South Jersey scene just over a year ago, though their musical roots run deep. It’s comprised of Nicoletta, the band’s vocal dynamo and lyricist; Tyler, a guitarist with a multi-instrumental pedigree, spins intricate melodies and hooks that linger; Grace, the bassist, who anchors each track with grooves that pulse with rhythm and melody; and RJ, the drummer from a metal background, who injects dynamic energy and precision, allowing the band to delve into softer textures without losing intensity. Their dreamy sound is a seamless blend of old-school new wave and modern alternative rock, bridging the past and present with a fresh, familiar flair.

Delancey unfurls with an infectious refrain, its driving tempo and beguiling guitar tones striking a balance between classic and contemporary. The track epitomizes the perfect vibe for gliding down the boardwalk on a breezy day. Effervescent, buoyant vocals reminiscent of Kate Pierson and The Shangri Las blend seamlessly with the lush, layered sound, echoing hints of Lush, The Sundays, Liz Phair, Martha and the Muffins, and Berlin. The jangling guitars, however, place us squarely in 1980s Glasgow. The chorus swells like the tide, invoking a bittersweet nostalgia for lost moments. Delancey tugs at the heartstrings, making you yearn for a place frozen in time, awaiting the return of its fleeting summer romance.

“Delancey” is the first release from Shore Points Records, heralding Polaroid Fade’s forthcoming full-length album, Chaos Into Poetry. Since dropping their debut single “Any Other Way” in 2022, Polaroid Fade has steadily built a dedicated fanbase and made significant waves in the local scene. Now, with their sights set on the open road, the band is poised to push the boundaries of their musical exploration. Each new track carries the promise of old-school new wave mingling with modern alternative rock, delivering a sound that’s as fresh as it is familiar. - Post-Punk

“Delancey” is the latest from New Jersey based Polaroid Fade. Born out of a love for bands like The Smiths and The Sundays, this is a full-steam-ahead love letter to alt rock and dream pop, with a hint of indie sleaze. Singer Nicoletta Giuliani belts out some fantastic lyrics with a guitar-forward backdrop and threatens to overpower them (seriously, she has some PIPES). Coming in at just under five minutes feels juuust long enough to hook me but leave me wanting for more, which, if quality of sound is any indicator, should keep happening for some time.

You can hear “Delancey” below from YouTube, or add it to your presumably burgeoning dream pop playlist on Spotify (we have a type, ya know?). Their first album Chaos in Poetry will be out sometime this year, so be sure to give the band a follow on their socials or Spotify. Don’t forget to follow the Blog on X, the site formerly known as Twitter. - BuffaBlog

Deep in Cumberland County, in a sleepy little hamlet called Vineland, Polaroid Fade practiced hard. But can you really write a love song to a town? What about to a particular street? Or even your house? Plus, don’t forget, oftentimes, the sound of silence permeates a beach town in the winter. “Delancey” is Polaroid Fade’s mighty impressive new song, the first tune released by the new Shore Points Records in Asbury Park. Its lush infectious hook is buoyed by the hard-charge of its tempo and the stratospheric dreamscape of guitar arrangements. It’s off their Chaos Into Poetry debut, due this fall..

It's been less than two years in existence for Polaroid Fade. But singer-songwriter Nicoletta, guitarist Tyler, bassist Grace and drummer RJ have all earned their chops in the multiple genres of previous bands, be it punk, metal, new-wave and/or alt-rock. Somehow, those strains will be evident when their Chaos Into Poetry debut lands this fall. Their 2022 debut-single “Any Other Way” gained them a flurry of fans. Follow-up singles “Bliss,” “Worry About Me Later” and “Fischer Garden” widened their appeal and readied them for the road. - The Jersey Sound
