Pollux was born out of the solo work of singer/songwriter Carey Head. The much vaunted frontman of alt-rock luminaries "Four Minute Mile" it seemed, had a side that manifested itself when he wasn’t bullriding his halfstack over some of the hardest rock in the city. More compelling still, were the influences that reflected in the songs he wrote- Chet Baker, Jeremy Enigk, Ours: A musical triumverate with a common theme of impeccable songcraft bookended by meloncholy and catharsis. Kevin Weber, also of 4MM, and Daniel Stevenson of Mobile Estate commited to learn parts for what seemed like a sideproject/solo record. The results were not to be predicted: Kevin, a studio and touring gun-for-hire with a deep understanding of Carey’s work ethic being paired with drummer/songwriter Daniel who is arguably still trying to play drums... but with a bass in his hands. What would it be? What it immediately became was something much greater than the sum of it’s parts; a sound described by Ben Temchine of Your Call Radio as "Rufus Wainwright-meets-At The Drive In". Pollux: Music that won’t hold your hand or meet your family, but you can’t stop thinking about it when it’s late and you’re alone.
