Details:
Born in Umeå, far up north on the Swedish coast, Viktor Näslund and Malin Dahlgren first met in music school and started writing music together in 2007. After completing their studies and having a growing curiousness for where their music would take them, they came to London in 2008. Polly Tones started out as an experimental pop duo with a passion for story telling and descriptive lyrics but have through the years grown more into their music and have created a mellow and soothing sound that draws you in, and doesnât let go.

After recording an acoustic cover of Brian Wilsonâs album SMiLE, Polly Tones received some recognition in the form of an article in The Guardian as New Band Of The Day, where Paul Lester wrote âTheir version of SMiLE, in conception and execution, is a work of genius.â They also played a live session at the show âUp All Nightâ on BBC Radio 6, hosted by radio legend Dotun Adebayo, as a result of said article.

Their music has been described as having a Beatles-esque richness, and a charming mix of folkish understatement, dry humour and beautiful vocals.
