Pollyanna’s first album, Whatever They Say I’m A Princess, had been recorded in Isabelle’s bedroom in 2004. Her and David are now back with On Concrete, a more elaborate record, elegantly produced, and this time in a real recording studio, by Stéphane Garry of the Parisian pop-folk band Pokett.
The atmosphere of On Concrete goes from an intimate whisper to angrier rock. The bittersweet lyrics explore the cracks in ordinary life: a walk downtown, a stroll on a beach, a failed love.

Pollyanna’s first album, Whatever They Say I’m A Princess, had been recorded in Isabelle’s bedroom in 2004. Her and David are now back with On Concrete, a more elaborate record, elegantly produced, and this time in a real recording studio, by Stéphane Garry of the Parisian pop-folk band Pokett.
The atmosphere of On Concrete goes from an intimate whisper to angrier rock. The bittersweet lyrics explore the cracks in ordinary life: a walk downtown, a stroll on a beach, a failed love.
English, the language of Hollywood, tourism and business, is for Pollyanna that of a tune hummed to oneself, in a sweet and low voice. Their songs are just like this: lullabies for grown-ups, without delusions but still hopeful.
The band has performed some 150 shows in various places in France, elsewhere in Europe (Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland) and in New-York (Sidewalk Café, Pete’s Candy Store…). Pollyanna, have also proudly supported great acts in beautiful venues (Françoiz Breut, Julie Doiron, Wilco, Bright Eyes, Nouvelle Vague, Alela Diane…).
