New Polyphia Single - Playing God

[Emperoff]

Full of those zoomer harmonics I keep hearing about

But what about boomer bends?

 

[Anectine_Matt]

I dig the shit out of it, but I consistently like their output. Love the latin/flamenco vibes and looking forward to their new album whenever it comes out.

 

[Edika]

I do like their creative titles they have for their songs (well not songs as there's no singing) and this is has a nice double meaning that can cater to both fans and haters. The video can support either interpretation.

I'm not sure if it's the Youtube compression but this sounds like an acoustic version of their electric sound, full of twang!

 

[Ben Pinkus]

Really liked the video locations - was looking for somewhere similar for my band atm (and struggling)
Enjoyed this more than some of their stuff actually, it just seemed to sit better with me coming from a nylon string (think I've gotten a bit bored with the tone these types of bands were using previously)

 

[Esp Griffyn]

Using nylon strings doesn't stop it sounding super-played out to me. They seem to have got stuck in one gear. I get it, the trap-hop with harmonics is their "thing" that sets them apart somewhat, but it sounds tired now.

 

[sakeido]

well that was boring

Weren't they collaborating with rappers on this album? let's hear something with vocals

 

[mastapimp]

There's something that makes me unable to bear Tim Henson as an individual.
Don't hate him, but I find him annoying, maybe it's his emo vibe, dunno.
But these 4 guys are insanely good, all the respect on the musicianship and skills.

Are you familiar with the term "backpfeifengesicht"?

 

[somethingsomething]

I feel like these dudes have such a highly-specific style that all their stuff ends up sounding the same. It kind of reminds me of those lo-fi playlists I put on in the background while I work--every song blurs into the next because they're so uniform in vibe. Can we call this one lo-fi shred?

 

[shpence]

Also, does anyone have more info on the guitars they're playing here?

I'm curious as well.

A disappointing Animals as Leaders song?

 

[jaxadam]

I guess I just don't like music anymore.

 

[Vegetta]

The Drummer is the best part of the band.

Now I am, thanks

But not necessarily that, it's just that I'm an old fart born in the late '70s

 

[MemphisHawk]

 

[Dooky]

Nah, big ol' snoozefest if you ask me

 

[soul_lip_mike]

Getting a neck tattoo sure is an interesting choice.

Any time I see shit like that all I can think of is what that person will look like when they're in their 70's with saggy skin.

My wife got a butterfly on her back when she was 18 and now it looks like a bat.

 

[Hollowway]

I loved New Levels New Devils almost exclusively because of the rhythmic elements. This has some of that, which is cool, but I’d probably place it between their old stuff and NLND in terms of how much I like it.

The better question is what will a blacked out neck look like in their 70s, cuz that’s what all the cool kids are doing. (Not hating - I actually like the look. It just paints you into a corner.)

I have tiger stripes on my arms, I guess I'll look like a zebra
