The Polyphonic Spree is a self-described "choral symphonic rock" group from the Dallas, Texas area. The band generally consists of a 10-person choir, a pair of keyboardists, as well as a percussionist, drummer, bassist, guitarist, flautist, trumpeter, trombonist, violinist/violist, harpist, French horn player, a pedal steel player, theremin player, and an electronic effects person. Individual members and the number of musicians vary because of the flexibility necessary in travelling with such a large band. Tim DeLaughter is musical director and contributes lead vocals, as well as keyboards, guitar, and percussion.

Man...Bird, Stringer and Weebay used to love this. I even heard Chris n Snoop chilled to this. Word is that Marlo offered them a million to cover "In Bloom". They told him to clean the money first.

It's like a bunch of marching band kids from 1973 found a time portal to 2003 and continued making music.

All those musicians just noodling over such a basic, insipid template. Shame they weren't put to better use.

if you ever have a chance to see them live don't miss it! Tim always sticks around to talk to fans and sign stuff if it's a smaller venue, great guys and great music.

Ever wondered what would have happened if Syd Barret didn't shit his brains out using LSD as laxatives? Well, this would be it. I mean it in a positive way.

I would love to hear Jason Lytle cover this tune. My only criticism of them is just that they use too many instruments at the same time, it's just distracting. Love this song though!

While I like the music - of the few I've listened to - have you noticed that it's mostly a chorus like phrase just repeated. Not a negative, but there is no ABACAB. Reminds me a lot of ELO, Beatles, Beach Boys, and other stuff that was out in the 67-68 time period. Seems the intent is more the music than the lyric. Again, not a negative - just a different focus than most current tunes.

Sat in my room with my decent headphones and I keep wanting to break out at the top of my voice but having to restrain myself so I don't wake up neighbours and family
