Bipolar Explorer are an NYC-based experimental dreampop trio featuring Summer Serafin (vocals, spoken word), Michael Serafin-Wells (guitars, vocals, bass, organ, synth, melodica, tape loops, percussion, spoken word) and Sylvia Solanas (spoken word – English/French).

Hailed by legendary BBC3/Soho Radio’s Max Reinhardt as “holy sonic icons” their work is an eclectic blend of genres, weaving in strands of the ambient, the experimental, field recordings sprinkled with instrumentation, a dash of guitar and vocal driven dreampop and a handful of shoegaze-y underscored spoken word (with narrative poems Serafin-Wells composes for inclusion) that the UK’s Norman Records has called “a cross between Slowdive and Laurie Anderson – a late night radio transmission drifting to us, half asleep in bed”.

The band are currently at work on their 12th studio album, expected to release later this year on NYC’s Slugg Records.

Bipolar Explorer’s “The Other Room”:
Now in it’s third year, Bipolar Explorer’s radio program – “The Other Room” – is a fortnightly show featuring experimental and ambient music, field recordings, spoken word and a touch of dark pop fashioned into an one-hour soundscape. As fellow radio devotees, we hope you will enjoy. A full archive of all editions is kept current and available here https://www.bipolarexplorer-the-other-room.sluggrecords.com/
