The Daily Choice: Led er Est - Poll Gorm

Led er Est, and I can’t imagine they’d be happy I’m saying this (but seriously folks, I’m saying it in good humor), feels a little bit to me like music you’d play at your synth-happy seven year old’s birthday party in the 1980s. Not that this synth-y bit of jam isn’t dark and brooding in it’s own right, but there’s a certain tinge of 80s Nintendo. I can imagine myself, yellow-footied Spider-Man jammies in all their splendor, parked in front of our 200-pound, 11-inch television schooling my older, more awkward sibling on Snake, Rattle & Roll, “Poll Gorm” blasting in the background.
There’s a taste of the danceable lurking in this song. Yes, it strays towards the feeling of a black-leathered dancers moon-rocking in a frigid glacial cave, but at its heart, there’s just something that makes me want to shake my ass.
