This week Austin-based collective the Polyphonic Spree released the video for “We Crawl,” another track off their latest album The Fragile Army. The video was directed by indie filmmaker Dante Harper and shows a very personal and close look at the cloaked ensemble.

The warm up tour is going well. we've been tweaking the set and figuring out all of the logistics for the big tour coming up. We've made a lot of new friends this time around and have really appreciated all the enthusiasm for the new songs. The bus has been great. WiFi is the best luxury you could ever have on tour, cause even though you're stuck on a bus or in some part of town that doesn'...

The Polyphonic Spree release their new album The Fragile Army on June 10th. The former choir-cloak wearing ensemble has just released the video for their first single, "Running Away." The entire video works like a cartoon, some 70,000 still photographs making up the clip. All snapshots were taken during a recent ten day tour. The Polyphonic Spree start a massive US summer tour on June 23rd at t...

Have you seen this site before? I stumbled upon it today and helped the little guys meet up with the rest of the band. Interesting technique, to get people to hear tracks off your record (Together We're Heavy), why not use a game?

At last I've replaced my copy of "The Beginning Stages of..The Polyphonic Spree." I had a copy a while back and then had a hard drive go wonky and when reloading iTunes from the backup one of the disks was bad and I lost several things.If you've never heard them, I'll give you some idea what they're like. Imagine ELO with a chorus and a theremin and throw in the flute from Jethro Tull and you...

My wife and I caught The Spree this past week at the Vic in Chicago. The show started at 6:30 and We didn't get there until like 7:30. Unfortunately we missed the Redwalls who are some local fellas that grew up in Deerfield (a northern suburb). Even more unfortunately we made most of Rooney's set. Sometimes (this being one of them) I pretend to imagine how bands meet and decide that they ar...

And I didn't think that was possible.Saw this show back in July. But, I'm trying to fill in my entire summer. So. You know. Bare with me.I don't know if I can fully ever encompass how fantastic that night was. The Polyphonic Spree is a band that my friend Melissa introduced me to, what? 5 months ago, maybe?, and, we're all so glad she did. Brooke and I saw them tonight. Oh man. Soooooooo good. ...

What a week! First Crowded House, then the Polyphonic Spree. I had only glimpsed this 20+ piece rock orchestra once before, at Coachella years ago, when they were still wearing their Godspell-style white robes and mostly singing songs about the sun and how reaching for it made them smile. I caught maybe the last five minutes of that show and was like, "What the hell?" I got their first album, l...

Whoa baby. This is one of the weirdest covers the Polyphonic Spree have ever done — and they've done more than their fair share. You might remember that, back in August, I said that the Spree would be contributing a cover of a song from the Nightmare Before Christmas for a compilation. I won't share [...]

Everybody's favorite pick-me-up, the Polyphonic Spree, are going to be contributing a song to a Nightmare Before Christmas covers compilation. Artists from RJD2, Korn and Sparklehorse are covering songs from the Tim Burton film for Nightmare Revisited. So yes, that means that Korn will finally have a song out on Walt Disney Records. Tracklist and [...]~~

Finally throwing my two cents in on the big Chicago festival. It was a great long weekend with some truly magical musical moments.The first was early Friday when the Polyphonic Spree and their attack of warmth and loved filled Grant Park. An amazing thing to see live, if you ever get the chance to, check them out! Tim Delaughter and his band even have a way of making Kurt Cobain lyrics sound ho...
