Cina Polada add a touch of "Gloom" to their Finnish take on dreampop

Led by Hilla, accompanied by brothers Tatu and Teemu and rounded out by Tony and Nita, the band's self-titled debut EP is due out at the end of September, and the first track to be taken from it is the dirgey/lovely "Gloom".

Over washes of synths and a battle between low-end sad major chords and the gleaming chimes of a higher register, Hilla's evocative and echoing vocal takes us through some relationship highs and lows. "I'm just a waste of time", sings the Finn over propulsive bass and drums that give the track a blast of energy. Like an mix of equal parts Flying Nun to Cascine, "Gloom" is a cracking piece of music from Cina Polada.
