Pantomime (Polara EP)

Pantomime is a 1996 five-song EP by Minneapolis alternative rock band Polara, released shortly before their second full-length C'est la Vie, their major-label debut for Interscope Records.

Though bandleader Ed Ackerson produced most of Pantomime and C'est La Vie himself, the band also worked with Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins), Sean Slade, and Paul Q. Kolderie on several tracks. Completing C'est La Vie took longer than anticipated, so the band released an EP, Pantomime, in November 1996 before the full-length album which was ready the following April.
