Add Date: March 2
Artist: Polysics
Album: Absolute Polysics
Label: Ki/oon
Genre: Electronica/New Wave
Comments: Another creative electronica record this week, this time from Japanese New Wave/rock band Polysics. Combining traditional rock guitar with heavy synthesizers and computer-generated noises, their music is self described as "technicolor pogo punk". It's an intriguing blend, cleverly crafted and the result is a wild, tightly wound, high energy sound highlighted by intense Japanese vocals (and on a rare, rare occasion, English) . The Devo references are there, but the result is wild in its own right. For the brave, check out tracks 5 (roughly a minute of what sounds like it could have been made by a Nintendo 64), 7 (a poppier track, easily the most accessible), 11 (eerie space music with an intro that sounds like Little Boots).
