“Overflowing with nuance, the songs are highlighted by deeply compelling lyrics, jaw-dropping instrumentation and Brennan’s arresting tenor vocals. It’s not often that I love every single song on an album, especially one as long as this, but that’s exactly the case with Love from the Underground. I’ve listened to it more than ten times, and still feel almost giddy at the arrival of each song.”

“Chicago Rock band Polarizer revels in creating ethereal synth based atmospheres that serve as a lush backdrop for singer Taylor Brennan’s cryptic and soaring vocals. The band’s sophomore album, The Fall and The Swell, captures the sometimes tumultuous aspects of a romantic relationship. Lyrically the songs are pensive and brooding while the instrumentation is vivid and driving Prog Rock with thick walls of guitar and pulsing rhythm.”

“The live show was fantastic. The music was smooth, eclectic. Taylor moves and sings with electric intensity, like a man who is seeing the love of his life walk away and is powerless to bring them back. Like someone who wants to run and is being forced to walk. But don’t mistake their music as laid back. You won’t be able to keep your foot from tapping to the beat.”

“Chicago band Polarizer creates a dynamic sound that shifts between driving and atmospheric arrangements, catchy riffs and progressive song structures.”

“Maintaining an interesting balance between heavy, punchy walls of sound and quiet, spacey melodies, Polarizer creates a unique listening experience.”
