Indie rocker Subway Rat, also known as David Polanco, has recently released an intriguing new track titled “Lost Without U.” This 90s/00s-nostalgic indie alternative pop/rock fusion takes listeners on a journey through experimental and theatrical elements, creating a unique and captivating musical experience.
“Lost Without U” showcases Subway Rat’s whimsical storytelling approach in the verses, painting vivid and imaginative pictures with his lyrics. The chorus, on the other hand, resounds with a cute outcry for his missing love, offering an endearing and relatable sentiment. The vocals in the track are a combination of talking and grunge raspiness, adding an edgy and raw quality to the song.
Subway Rat takes pride in this versatile and slightly eccentric track, which manages to be both weird and approachable, pushing the boundaries of traditional genres. The fusion of indie alternative pop/rock elements gives the song a nostalgic yet fresh feel that sets Subway Rat apart as an artist with a unique sound.
Born and raised in the borough of Queens, New York City, Subway Rat began his musical journey after a rough breakup with his college sweetheart and a late diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1. Despite having no prior musical experience, he wrote his first-ever song, titled “Rendezvous.” Since then, Subway Rat has collaborated with indie guitarist and producer Paco Lee, as well as multi-platinum, Grammy-winning engineers at Lounge Studios in Times Square, to create dozens of songs.
Fans of Subway Rat appreciate his raspy voice, aggressive delivery, romantic storytelling, and energizing rock beats. His style draws inspiration from fellow NYC legends such as The Strokes, The Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, 50 Cent, and Pop Smoke, creating a captivating blend of influences.
“Lost Without U” serves as a testament to Subway Rat’s growth as an artist and his ability to create music that resonates with listeners on an emotional level. With its unique fusion of genres and storytelling approach, the track offers a fresh and exciting perspective on indie alternative music.
