Perfect Son, it should be said, is Sub Pop's first Polish artist, the result of an extended interest in Bilinski's work and the country itself from label co-founder Jonathan Poneman. Several years ago, Bilinski applied to play at South by Southwest as Coldair. Poneman saw his performance, and was impressed. When Cast was finally finished, Poneman didn't need more convincing. These songs, after all, are magnetic, with the searching harmonies and deep drums of "Promises" and the rhythmic intricacy and serial synths of "Wax" pulling you close on first listen and holding you there for the foreseeable future. Cast is a testament to the possibilities of the future, brilliantly disguised as 10 grandiose and undeniable pop anthems.
