Intro

The Polyamorous Affair creates a sound that is simultaneously icy and inviting. It is a world of strategic simplicity where every drum machine hit and synth swell is placed with surgical precision. The music carries a sense of 'electro-glam' that feels like a high-fashion editorial come to life, blending the grit of an underground club with the luxury of a private penthouse. It is sophisticated, slightly detached, and deeply atmospheric.

What makes them truly distinctive is the tension between Eddie Chacon's production and Sissy Sainte-Marie's vocals. While the beats are often skeletal and chilly, the vocal delivery is breathy and intimate, creating a 'warm vibe' within a cold frame. They lean into a surreal, opulent fantasy that avoids the typical cliches of indie-electro by embracing a more theatrical, almost cinematic sense of mystery and mischief.

Start with the album 'Bolshevik Disco' to hear their signature blend of minimalist synth-pop and disco-inflected grooves. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who wants music that feels like a secret, late-night encounter in a city that never sleeps. It is stylish, rhythmic, and just weird enough to stay interesting long after the first listen.

The Polyamorous Affair is an electronic band based in Los Angeles consisting of producer/songwriter Eddie Chacon and vocalist Sissy Sainte-Marie.
