ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

When the Polyphonic Spree first appeared in 2000, the Dallas symphonic pop group was as much a band as a "happening," in the 1960s sense of the word. The Spree's two dozen members took the stage in flowing robes of snowy white, an appropriate backdrop for their happy and uplifting blend of pop, orchestral rock, and minimal touches of gospel.

The follow-up to 2002's The Beginning Stages Of..., their smash debut. Three years in the making, Together We're Heavy is sonically hair-raising, capturing the band's euphoric and communal live performances. With its big, symphonic sound and some tracks clocking in at more than eight minutes each, the album is an unparalleled, epic recording. Comes with a bonus DVD that features: -Complete live concert from Japan's Summersonic Festival, 2003. - Three live songs from the Chicago Met   [ read more ]

Talk about your teenage symphonies to God. The Polyphonic Spree create the most euphoric, uplifting pop music imaginable. A self-described symphonic pop band crediting an astounding 29 members, their guilelessly spiritual lyrics and flowing white robes suggest they're a cult act in both the literal and figurative sense of the term, but the sheer joy of their music is undeniably persuasive, evoking the otherworldly brilliance of everything from Pet Sounds to The Soft Bulletin.
