The five members of Polytechnic met and formed their band in 2005 at Manchester University (which, incidentally, is not a polytechnic). Rather like a lean and hungry Gomez, their krautrock influenced college drone has started pricking up interest, following their support of Doves and Morning Runner last year. Expect to hear a lot more from them.
