Introducing: Poly-Math

• 4th Nov 2015

Brighton based trio Poly-Math are the latest signing to Manchester based independent label Superstar Destroyer Records (also home to Glasswerk favourites Alpha Male Tea Party and Ninetails). Their next release ‘Melancholia’ is scheduled to see the light of day in Spring 2016.

The band hit the road a short run of headline dates for December 2015, their last live outing of the year in support of their ‘Reptiles’ EP which was released in January of this year on Lonely Voyage Records.

Making densely layered, off kilter instrumental math-rock that leans on the heavier elements of the genre, Poly-Maths intensely technical and melodic output is reminiscent of early Battles, Three Trapped Tigers and The Mars Volta.

Guitarist Tim Laulik-Walters teases of the new material:

“Our new recordings are a step away from any conventional format we might have had before. We’re using samples and new instruments, introducing some of our traditional Spanish Folk influence, but also trying to make our crescendos greater, trying out new tunings to try to push us in different directions. A lot of it won’t work live, just due to the scale of it, but then I guess that’s something we need to start working on.”

To get a taster of their utterly captivating live performance, you can watch the video for the spidery, unbelievably technical math-rock of ‘Castrovalva’ right here:

The ‘Reptiles’ EP is out now via Lonely Voyage Records.
