Polyphia to Release 'The Most Hated EP' 7/21
By: Caryn Robbins Jul. 18, 2017
Blending technical, weaving instrumentations with hip-hop, jazz and R&B influenced grooves, Polyphia has created a massively impressive sound that is all their own. At an average age of just barely 21-years old - Polyphia has established themselves early on as a force to be reckoned with and as a band that holds a truly unimaginable amount of potential. The Dallas, TX-based instrumental outfit will release their third release and first self-released EP, The Most Hated EP on July 21, 2017. Pre-orders are available now http://polyphia.merchnow.com.
Building on Polyphia's sophomore album, Renaissance (2016), The Most Hated EP continues to push the conceptual and artistic direction for the trio's sound, vibe and visual aesthetic, to create their own innovative fusion of technical, yet melodic instrumental arrangements ranging from EDM, hip hop, pop to classical music.
For bassist Clay Gober, "We want people to recognize the new creative direction we're going with our music: an almost electronic type of genre merged with instrumental songwriting. One thing we like to experiment with is jamming on hip hop tracks just to see where it takes us, and doing that has helped us come up with some fresh new ideas for song structure, melody, and other things that we haven't really ever experimented with before. We find that this is a really good way of opening our ears to new realms of music writing. Coming up with catchy, memorable hooks is something we've been working hard to implement in our music. It feels good to be giving our fans and friends a new album that's so emotionally charged and intellectually stimulating. It's going to make people think things they've never thought, feel things they've never felt, and hopefully see that Polyphia is expanding in a way that we're extremely passionate about."
Their debut album Muse (2014), sold over 10k copies to date and which landed on several Billboard Charts including No. 5 on Internet Albums, No. 6 on Hard Rock Albums, No. 13 on Independent Albums, No. 22 on Top Rock Albums, No. 71 on Top Current Albums, and No. 76 on Top 200. Through Muse, the band also found early supporters in the likes of Dunlop, Ibanez and Guitar World.
