Here's one review of the EP, "En Pointe":
The man behind rock-dance band Polaris at Noon, Jason Suwito, is like a mad musical scientist. He mixes, produces, performs, writes and does just about everything else that goes into making music. Luckily, he does it well, resulting in an insanely unique and catchy blend of rock and electronica that is both hypnotizing and entertaining.
Unsurprisingly, Suwito was the sole mastermind behind the album, which is heavily influenced by 1980s pop. Each of the five tracks has that 1980s overly dramatic feel to it, and without further embellishment by Suwito, would probably leave listeners feeling a little deprived. Despite looking to the past for his inspiration, Suwito is by no means an unoriginal copycat. Polaris at Noon has managed to take that dated sound and infuse it with a creative version of indie dance music. “En Pointe’s” opening track, “Red,” is a piano/keyboard-driven pop-rock track. Suwito establishes that he has more than just mixing talents on the song, showing that he’s capable of pulling off some strong and anthemic vocals.
Although Polaris at Noon’s music contains elements of rock, “En Pointe” is more a dance album than anything. Tracks “Far Away” and “On” are hypnotic and upbeat. The tracks conjure up visions of dancing masses under strobe lights and swirling disco balls. The fact that Polaris at Noon’s music can inspire such a vision with just a listen says a lot about Suwito’s capabilities as a musician.
