Polyphonic Spree unveil new album details

The Polyphonic Spree

The Polyphonic Spree have announced full details of their forthcoming third album.

The Fragile Army will be out in June via TVT records, and was produced in the main by head honcho Tim DeLaughter.

DeLaughter said of the band's new record: "This recording was extremely challenging for us, songs had been developed [on the road] and were pretty much fully arranged before recording.

"But it's a very spontaneous album. We'd been off the road for a while, and all the players collaborated on the spot in the studio.

“When we listen back it feels like a diary more than anything else. It's painful and beautiful all at once."

Here's a tracklisting for you:

'Section 21 (Together We're Heavy)'
'Section 22 (Running Away)'
'Section 23 (Get Up And Go)'
'Section 24 (The Fragile Army)'
'Section 25 (Younger Yesterday)'
'Section 26 (We Crawl)'
'Section 27 (Oh I Feel Fine)'
'Section 28 (Guaranteed Nightlite)'
'Section 29 (Light To Follow)'
'Section 30 (Watch Us Explode/Justify)'
'Section 31 (Overblow Your Nest)'
'Section 32 (The Championship)'

DiScuss: has the Polyphonic Spree's music ever been as good as their concept? Will they ever produce a great album?

I wish that they could be put on a very small island, which itself is a long distance from any other habitation or civilisation, and left there.

wasn't

"together we're heavy" the title of their second album?

Indeed it was

First album was good. As good as the concept as well. When the end of time comes i will expect the Polyphonic Spree to have a big Ragnarok-esque battle with Sunn0))) over who has the better robes.

Did not like

the second album at all when it was released, but am quite fond of it now. Live show is a good axample of the law of diminishing returns. But always somewhat enjoyable

it's a bit like

the whole thing with Bring It On and Gomez. And that Captain Beefheart thing. Uhm, yeah.

i

liked the first album and their stuff on the Thumbsucker soundtrack, but then the second album past me by. I have...some interest I guess in this.

Recently

I was discussing bands that seemed to be dead. The Spree were one of them. For some reason the conversation descended into the organisation of mass graves.

I loved this band

and have seen them live so many times, and like their albums, but I'm for some reason not excited about their return. Their recent-ish 'Wait' ep wasn't too astounding, and maybe the fact that they've ditched their robes for some crazy black army kinda uniform. Will still buy it anyway, and hope I'm proved wrong.
