Polyphonic Spree : Together
We're Heavy
By Tim Cashmere
Texan twenty-two piece group
The Polyphonic Spree have come out with their second brilliant
album, loaded with melodies and noises that at times sound
structured by god himself.
Band leader Tim DeLaughter somehow manages to organise all
these musicians into one uplifting and magical musical experience
that just falls together. It's chaotic, but somehow it works
so simply.
Their second album is littered with everything from beautifully
epic to the dark and mysterious, but a majority of it is stunning
melodies, however they be presented. The orchestration is
nothing short of sheer brilliance, and the musicianship is
beyond simple admiration. How this band doesn?t sound like
a complete mess is beyond me, but through a choral hark to
the progressive rock bands of the seventies, The Polyphonic
Spree have made a triumphant mark in musical history.
