C'est la Vie (Polara album)
rdfs:comment
C'est la Vie is the second album by Minneapolis alternative rock band Polara, and their first for Interscope Records. The group was founded and led by musician and producer Ed Ackerson after the breakup of his previous band, the 27 Various, with guitarist Jennifer Jurgens, bassist Jason Orris, and Trip Shakespeare's Matt Wilson on drums. The new group continued his interest in 1960s mod-rock and Syd Barrett-style psychedelia and added a heavy element of Krautrock-inspired electronics and keyboards. Critical acclaim for Polara's 1995 self-titled debut album led to a bidding war by several major labels; Polara eventually signed to Interscope Records, with Peter Anderson replacing Wilson on drums.

C'est la Vie is the second album by Minneapolis alternative rock band Polara, and their first for Interscope Records. The group was founded and led by musician and producer Ed Ackerson after the breakup of his previous band, the 27 Various, with guitarist Jennifer Jurgens, bassist Jason Orris, and Trip Shakespeare's Matt Wilson on drums. The new group continued his interest in 1960s mod-rock and Syd Barrett-style psychedelia and added a heavy element of Krautrock-inspired electronics and keyboards. Critical acclaim for Polara's 1995 self-titled debut album led to a bidding war by several major labels; Polara eventually signed to Interscope Records, with Peter Anderson replacing Wilson on drums. The album was recorded in 1996 in sporadic sessions in between tours. Though Ackerson produced most of C'est La Vie himself, the band also worked with prominent producers Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins), Sean Slade, and Paul Q. Kolderie on several tracks. Completing the album took longer than anticipated, so the band released an EP, Pantomime, in November 1996 before the full-length was ready the following April. Ackerson took a holistic approach to making music, viewing composition, performance, recording and post-production all as steps in a single process of creating a song. He told an interviewer in Guitar Player magazine, "It's all part of the same thing—amps, guitars, effects. You're playing it all." Ackerson believed that constant experimentation with new sounds was at the heart of his songwriting approach with Polara, which he stated "would never make the same record twice." In contrast to Polara, his intention on C'est la Vie was to play more straightforward rock. "The first album had no lead (guitar parts), and that was very deliberate. I was kind of politicized about it. But when we started to get this record together I realized that I am a rock guitar player, and we felt like making a record more related to rock."
