Polka Dot Dot Dot has recently released their first full-length album Love Letter to New Zealand. Their music is folk inspired with a twist, featuring instruments such as ukulele, banjo, glockenspiel, and other interesting percussion choices. Each song has it's own unique sound, but the album as a whole has a effervescent aesthetic, while still keeping your attention. The album kicks off with the track Small Words, Bigger Lessons, which is an acappella folk tune, that incorporates stomp into the mix. This is only a slight sampling of the innovative musical ideas this band presents. There is everything from jazz inspired tunes such as Gold Watch to another acappella piece, Rose Rose, which is sung in a round. This band is a testament to beauty that can be found in simplicity, but still adds unexpected elements to each song, that makes the album compelling and unique.
