Polyphonic Exophilia - Vol. 2

-

 


This aweinspiring 4 track EP by Polyphonic Exophilia begins with "ups et pertulerat"

At 5 minutes long, you'd expect that the listener will lose interest rather quickly, yet, this couldn't be any further from the truth. This unique instrumental track intrigues the listener right from the get go, not giving any moments of downtime, and ensuring that the already complex soundscape doesn't stop evolving and changing.

The 2nd track is titled "Dance with fire"

Beginning with an almost alien like introduction, the track begins to engage an upbeat, catchy musical vibe straight away, with the introduction of deep, fast paced vocals and a cinematic, radiating, first class level of production. It truly feels like something out of a movie, with the middle eastern vibe melodies and evolving percussion.

"God is what people make of it" 

With a subdued, tranquil start, the listener will probably not be drawn to the track straight away, until the wah pedal full guitar begins to unfold until the percussion and vocals enter. The funky bassline never fails to impress and keeps the well thought out structure of the song in place.

"when the lockdown is over"

After another slowpaced intro, the track unfolds in a sequence, allowing new elements to enter, from maracas and drums, to some incredible layered electric guitar patterns. Towards the end there is a burst in colour, with creativity and originality coming to the forefront of the song, before the slow decresendo.

Winchester 7 and the Runners release their album "Argos Holiday" One of the first tracks that really caught my attention was "The Golden Age" This song starts with a cresending fuzzy electric guitar introduction that leads into the quiet but powerful halfharmonic vocals, the drums are simple but do the job of keeping the song in track. The electric guitar and bass work well together and the vocals remind me of very early pre2005 Arctic Monkeys songs. "When The World stops Spinning" feels like a Reytons track, also including the fuzzy rock sounds of "The golden age". This song has a more catchy and early rock style than the majority of the songs, the instrumental sections are incredible and action packed. Some of the guitar riffs in "When The World stops Spinning" have a strong 1980s rock vibe.  One of the softer tracks "In the Morning Light" features some unique chord progressions and harmonies, although this song ...
