POLISH CLUB’S NEW VIDEO IS ANNOYING AS HELL, ‘JUST TALKING’ IS OUT NOW + NEW NORTHEAST PARTY HOUSE REMIX FOR ‘JUST TALKING’
+ PERFORMING SYDNEY NOVEMBER 17 + 18 FOR GREAT SOUTHERN NIGHTS
Following a string of sold-out performances at The Factory for Great Southern Nights, today Polish Club shares the Northeast Party House remix of Just Talking via Island Records Australia.
Last month, Polish Club dropped their summer anthem Just Talking, their first new music in a year. Having toured with Northeast Party House in 2016, the Sydney duo enlisted them for a synth laden reimagining of the track. “Where the original leads you on a chill summer drive, the remix thrusts you onto the dancefloor at 3am later that night,” says Novak of the remix.
Polish Club have emerged as one of Australia’s best live acts, having embarked upon numerous sold out national tours. The duo have thus far released two LPs and two EPs. Their triple j feature albums, debut LP Alright Already (2017) and follow-up Iguana (2019), both debuted in the top 20 on the ARIA Album Chart with the former earning a Best Rock Release ARIA Award nomination. Led by singles Divided, Come Party, We Don’t Care, Breakapart and Clarity which was voted #76 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2018, the band continue to be championed by music media and fans across the country. Not one to keep their fans waiting, Polish Club also released EPs Okie Dokie (2017) and nye_2020_megamix.exe (2019) right off the back of both albums. Most recently Polish Club headed into the triple j studios for a memorable Like A Version performance of Doja Cat’s Say So.

With its simple concept, the new video from Sydney two-piece Polish Club is frantic. The video for Just Talking draws inspiration from a 90’s music video with its quick cuts and popping primary colours. Directed by Tim Nathan, the visual buffet serves up a Novak and John-Henry performance intercut with various visceral vignettes of unfortunate events.
Nathan says of the clip, “We talked about making something that felt quite tactile, that might shock people a little at times, that lead to looking at those cringe OCD compilation videos on YouTube and eventually to a more stylised version of that, combined with a gentle merging of these elements into the band's performance. There was also this idea of anti-continuity which I guess we see when things randomly appear and disappear in the video.”
Novak reflected fondly upon the experience, “The weird thing about video shoots compared to recording music is how there is usually some sort of catering involved. You can go two days straight in a music studio without anyone mentioning food, but as soon as we step into a music video shoot, there's a whole damn table. It's a real treat. And to make things even better this time around, there were several fun shots that involved actual food, so there was probably double the amount at this one. Not only did Tim make a baller video, he involved more food than usual, which gets a huge tick of approval from me. So thank you Director Tim Nathan for your creative vision, and thank you Producer Georgia Creer for baking such delicious cakes.”
Set to perform four shows across two nights at Sydney’s Factory Theatre for Great Southern Nights, the duo recently dropped Just Talking, a refreshingly carefree single that refuses to overthink itself.
It's music to make you feel good. It’s the hard seltzer to lay you down on the beach towel. Though it doesn’t need any metaphor, just take it from John-Henry, “It’s a summery jam.” That’s all there is to it.
