Departing from the desire to explore music more widely, Karaeng, Billy, Xandega, and Giovanni had agreed to engage to their own formula of crafting Polka Wars' distinctive sound: the sound of honest feelings and gentle confusions wrapped in layers of sonic pleasure. With two vocal ranges (baritone and alto), variety of instruments (including wind instruments), and synth-generated cold electronic ambient, they are ready to spread their music to that whole new level.
So far, Polka Wars had recorded 4 songs: Coraline & Horse' Hooves (released as a digital demo sampler - 2011) and Sanctuary & This Providence (released as a 7" single - 2013).
To complete the ecstatic experience of Polka Wars' live performance, Gerinov (saxophonist) and Sawi Lieu (keyboards & synthesizers) are now joining the lineup.
As for media coverage, Polka Wars has already well known trough many respectable blogs around the globe. They’ve been featured in NYLON magazine and soon will be joining several music compilations such as Indie Music France (http://www.indiemusic.fr/) and Music Alliance Pact Compilation (http://www.guardian.co.uk).

This Providence
Polka Wars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one will (be) defended
Nothing else will ever (be) carried out
No one will be drowned
Are you guide me to the fastest sparks?
Gather round and taste it all with the love I got inside
Everyone has their own obstacle
The more we train. the more we recognize this providence
In this song, Polka Wars talks about the fleeting nature of life and the necessity of embracing the present moment. The lyrics convey the idea that nothing that we do or achieve will really matter in the grand scheme of things, and that we will not be able to defend ourselves or our accomplishments in the face of the inevitable passage of time. The song also touches on the subject of perseverance in the face of challenges, as the singer asks for guidance in overcoming obstacles and encourages listeners to keep trying even when faced with difficulties.
The lyrics of "This Providence" are open to interpretation and could be seen as a reflection on the transitory nature of existence or a call to embrace the present and live fully in the moment. The phrase "this providence" could be interpreted in a religious sense, referring to the idea that everything happens for a reason and that there is divine guidance in the world. Alternatively, it could simply refer to the idea that life is full of surprises and that we should embrace whatever comes our way.
