“I'm on my way"
After the career stall that was Together We're Heavy (though not a terrible album in its own right), Polyphonic Spree quietly released an EP of covers and samples from their upcoming release. What's amazing about it is that the ginormous (and slightly crazy...surely going for the "crazed cult" fanbase) band has jettisoned their bloated songs in favor of more straightforward pop music. I always thought that Polyphonic Spree could be an awesome pop band, and I was right. Mental Cabaret is the most direct thing they've done to date and is a fantastic song. In fact, they're starting to sound a bit like Arcade Fire, another current quirky, classically inspired band. It will be interesting to see if the band will have any mainstream success with their new material.
