Polaris is the North Star, currently situated almost exactly at the celestial north pole, and thus instrumental in the art of astronavigation. Likely because of this, its namesakes include a number of marine vessels and aeroplanes, as well as the first sub-launched ballistic missile fielded by the United States, the United Kingdom's first submarine-based nuclear weapons programme, and an Israeli reconnaissance satellite.
But above all, Polaris is the North Star, 400-some light years away from Earth, unaware of all of that.
Sweetly melancholy bedroom pop is rarely as actually vulnerable and personal as it is in this Australian artist's hands. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2018
