Polartropica & Gilbert Louie Ray – Shiny Things

Los Angeles-based galactic dream rock artist Polartropica and Americana artist Gilbert Louie Ray release “Shiny Things.” The song “was inspired by my father’s love for John Denver and his beautiful cinematic melodies I grew up listening to, as well as sweet classic harmonies of the Everly Brothers and surfy electric guitars of Beach Boys.” shares Polartropica.  With banjo and acoustic guitar by Gilbert Louie Ray and electric guitars by Brandon Graham who also engineered and mixed the track, “Shiny Things” is a genre-defying banger. The track details the heart-crushing pain that sometimes happens at the end of falling in love. Polartropica further confides, “This song is about eventually finding it in your heart to learn and grow from all the hard lessons and finally let go with a sense of understanding and acceptance, which is a journey in itself, and coming back home to yourself with love and forgiveness.” 

The single is shared alongside a music video that is a swashbuckling adventure of a legendary, toasty pirate of the Salton Sea who gets a parking ticket on her ship. The cinematic video was filmed and directed by Tristan Pelletier on the hottest day of summer in the desert.
