We have a new release, Crop Rotation. Hit us up at www.polynya.org. We love to share.
Polynya humbly started as a 2 piece, then made its way to a 5 piece not too terribly long after. Currently, it is a core of 4 people: Andrea (gtr, vx, kybrd, perc), Luke (gtr, vx, kybrd, perc), Pat (kybrd, perc), and Thom (bs, gtr, vx, kybrd, perc, prod). We function well in most moist environments, though we can adapt to both hot and cold arid conditions if the situation arises. We play out, we play in, and if we find something mutually satisfying, we record it. While typically adverse to comparing ourselves to other artists, we are known to enjoy Can, Wire, Boards of Canada, Augustus Pablo and Pere Ubu and many more too numerous to name. We have one self-titled disc, and a new one, Crop Rotation, due out in May.
Polynya hit the ground in 2023 AD, then again in 1394 AD . Other sighting, though unconfirmed incl 403 BC and 1603 AD
No hay más que empezar a escuchar este Crop Rotation para darse cuenta de lo que nos ofrece, música de marcado carácter experimental, con sonidos densos que se combinan con melodías contagiosas, dando como resultado un álbum muy interesante, que gana enteros conforme aumentan las escuchas, y en donde destacan piezas como People in Pictures o Fan Fiction.
Hace poco editaron su segundo disco “Crop Rotation”, el cual muy comedidamente me enviaron y que he disfrutado “en cantidad” gracias a la capacidad que tiene Polynya de enfrentarse en tantos flancos, como en su disco anterior la multiplicidad de sonidos y géneros son la punta de lanza de la banda, que en esta ocasión nos regala singulares piezas de noise rock como “Mobile”, algo de sonido atmosférico con “Orlando” y sin duda una de las mejores canciones de este año “People in Pictures” que por si sola puede sostener hasta el peor de los discos, claro que este no es el caso “Crop Rotation” que resulta una completa delicia.
Deze dinsdag kreeg ik ineens een pakje uit het verre Amerika in mijn handen geduwd, in dat pakje zat de debuutplaat van Polynya een jonge band uit North Carolina. Ik voelde me even wereldberoemd. Polynya klinkt in de eerte plaats zeer zonnig, een beetje zoals The Shins dus maar dan met zangeres. Op Polynya (de debuutplaat) staan voornamelijk heerlijk zomerse popnummers die in deze koude winterdagen een welkome troots zijn (uh uh… emo). Maar soms gaat Polynya de iets hardere toer op en doet het zelfs denken aan iets Sonic Youths-achtig (Sweatshop). Verder staan er nog heel wat degelijke nummers op oa. Paper Planes, Cardboard , Black Cherry en Cubicle. Kortom, een zomersplaatje met een scherp randje. Als u de onweerstaanbare drang voelt om dit plaatje in huis te halen, dan kan dat door een mail te sturen naar deze heren en dames, meer info staat op hun website.

Follow TTWD Fest on Twitter! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is TTWD Fest?
TTWD is an all day music festival held at the Old Gilliam Mill Park outside of Sanford, NC on August 8, 2009. The park is a replica of a 19th century grist mill, and it is a great place to see music. Bands play in an amphitheatre style setting on a stage that looks like the front porch of an old shack. It has sort of an “Austin City Limits” feel. There are campsites with electricity, running water, bathrooms, and showers. There is also a full kitchen onsite, and food and beverages will be provided by Bella Bistro.
Point your GPS to 4613 Carbonton Rd, SANFORD, North Carolina 27330 (This is the closest physical address to the park. The park itself is on Hwy 42 W / Carbonton Road in between Wakefield Road and Pickard Road.)
