The Dallas, TX-based instru- metal brightest hope,shining star, POLYPHIA set to release their newest album “Renaissance” on 3/11 !! “Renaissance” brings your ears to new realm of music!!
Renaissance was recorded with Nick Sampson (Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men) who co-produced the album with Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage. Renaissance introduces a new conceptual and artistic direction for the trio’s sound, vibe and visual aesthetic, that sees the band embracing their eclectic musical tastes (which include EDM, hip hop, pop and classical music) to create their own innovative blend of technical, yet melodic instrumental arrangements.
“Runessaece” は Nick Sampson (Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men) を POLYPHIA の Tim, Scott と共に Co-Producer に起用して制作されました。”Runessaece” のサウンド、美しいビジュアルは、トリオとなった新しい POLYPHIA のコンセプトや芸術性を表しています。EDM, Hip Hop, Pop, そしてクラッシックといったエクレクティックな要素を取り入れ、テクニカルでありながらメロディアスなインストゥルメンタルアレンジとブレンドすることで、彼ら独自の革新的な音楽を創造したのです。
“Our new track “Nightmare” is the first 8-string piece we’ve written,The video tells the story of a ballerina practicing for perfection. Her deranged instructor appears only to make her do it over and over again. She keeps practicing the routine until her feet bleed, and she throws up blood. At the end, she thinks she finally got it perfect, but her instructor has had enough and decides to strangle her out of nowhere. As soon as he makes contact with her, she wakes up to realize that she was only having a nightmare.”
“As a band, we’ve been pretty clear and up front about our love affair with culturally mainstream music. Arranging the actual sound of the record was somewhat tricky, seeing as how the Justin Bieber and Drake records we’ve been blasting nonstop don’t exactly fit right in with the thematic elements of Renaissance culture. At the end of the day it was actually quite a blast to see what sort of “hybrid” music we could birth between various genres in a tasteful way. It feels really good to know that the internet won’t be able to label this album with a sub-genre quite as easily as it might expect.”
“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.”
みんなには僕たちが進んでいる新しいクリエイティブな方向性を理解して欲しい。ほとんどのエレクトロニカのジャンルがインストのソングライティングに融合しているんだよ。hip hop のトラックでジャムってどうなるか試すのが好きだし、そうすることで楽曲の構成、メロディー、そして他にも以前は出てこなかったようなフレッシュな新しいアイデアが湧き出てくるんだ。それが新しいソングライティングの領域に達する為の良い方法だと気づいたんだよ。
キャッチーで覚えやすいフックを楽曲に盛り込むことは僕たちがずっと必死に取り組んで来たこと。ファンや友人のみんなにとてもエモーショナルで刺激的な知性を持った新作を提供出来るから良い気持ちだよ。この作品を聴いてみんなは「こんな音楽、想像したことも感じたこともない。」って思うかも知れないね。POLYPHIA が情熱を傾ける新しく広がる世界を理解してくれたら嬉しいな。
