#polyon

This year saw more and more artists embracing elements of noise, and taking fuzzed-out textures to a new, more melody oriented zone. In that vein, D.C. outfit Polyon takes a wall-of-sound approach to post-punk, throwing heavy vocal hooks over gritty, spacious accompaniments. “Blue” is the first single from the band latest EP, titled Blue EP, on Funny/Not Funny Records. The track crashes in big, works its way through full-bodied verses and closes in a hush of feedback. From a statement from the band, the song’s video seeks “to convey a steadfastness in identity among the faces presented throughout. As our worlds challenge us in different ways and throw us into spinning vortexes we 'know who we are.' But, at times, learning that lesson can mean exercising demons.” Blue EP is out now via Funny/Not Funny Records.
