It is very difficult to discuss a CD by a group consisting of twenty-five men and women in white dresses. There is a great temptation in such a case to talk about the fact that they are twenty-five and that they are wearing white dresses. While the music should come first. The Polyphonic Spree was founded in 2000 in Dallas, Texas by singer / guitarist Tim DeLaughter (ex-Tripping Daisy). In the
… booklet of their debut CD he describes their music as follows: This Is A Choral Symphonic Pop Band. With this he hits the nail on the head. The choir section consists of eleven members, while the other fourteen are occupied with instruments such as harp, tablas, violin, trumpet, cello, oboe and Moog synthesizer. On stage, they radiate so much joy and optimism that you think you are watching a religious sect. It's neo-psychedelics, or music with a nod to the psychedelic era. They combine the best of The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. The songs have no titles, they are called Section 1 to Section 10. For a change I'm not going to mention favorite tracks, because you have to experience this great album as a whole. (MvP) The album has been re-released as part of the festival season with an extra DVD, containing three songs live, videos and photos.
