   About Polynya

Blah, blah, blah, photographed w/nobel prize winner Dr. Pierre Lebau in '18, blah, blah, blah, awarded the coveted endorsement from the Michigan Penisula Separatists Society in '16, blah, blah, blah, managed to subdue a tense stand-off between the police and the Terre Haute 11 in '15, blah, blah, blah, re-elected to the Calvander City Planning Board in '14...yes, Polynya started out in 2011 and it's been all downhill from there.

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. http://myjukebox.wordpress.com/2007/12/29/polynya/

Polynya es un quinteto de Chapel Hill, Carolina del Norte que recientemente acaba de publicar su álbum de debut, el cual nos ofrece 13 temas en los que vamos a encontrar una gran variedad de sonidos, así tenemos canciones densas e hipnóticas que puedan recordar una mezcla de los primeros Lush con Cocteau Twins, como por ejemplo la que abre el disco, “Old West” mientras que en el lado opuesto nos encontramos con otras mucho más luminosas como Cubycle. Pero el abanico de posibilidades no se acaba aquí, ya que a lo largo del álbum sonarán canciones que nos recuerden el pop desenfadado de los B-52’s, como es el caso de “Tarantula” y otras con cierto aire rock (Sweatshop) para sorprendernos posteriormente con suaves melodías como Essy Persson. No obstante a la hora de escoger mi favorita la elegida sería “Without a Trace” en la que combinan a la perfección una melodía irresistible con unos juegos vocales deliciosos. En definitiva, un disco muy interesante y muy rico en matices, en el que la instrumentación, en ocasiones saturada, predomina sobre la voz principal pero en el que juegan un papel determinante los juegos de voces que se encuentran presentes en todo momento. http://litomusic.blogspot.com/2007/10/polynya.html

This is my music video for "It's Not Easy When You're Me"




You guys, I've been told I need to do a better job of promotimg my band, so I'm trying my hand at ye olde myspace spamming... Have you ever been friends with a myspace spammer? Have you ever woken up next to a myspace spammer? I figure in the future we'll all probably be robots anyway, so I'm cool with it...
