Talk about your teenage symphonies to God.
The Polyphonic Spree create the most euphoric, uplifting
pop music imaginable. A self-described symphonic
pop band crediting an astounding 29 members, their guilelessly spiritual lyrics and flowing white robes suggest they're a cult act in both the literal and figurative sense of the term, but the sheer joy of their music is undeniably persuasive, evoking the otherworldly brilliance of everything from
Pet Sounds to
The Soft Bulletin. Leader
Tim DeLaughter, late of the oft-annoying
Tripping Daisy, has harnessed something truly pure and enriching this time around -- imagine
Up With People entering the studio with
Dave Fridmann in the producer's chair, and you're getting close. This is life-affirming music of the highest caliber.
