About Polyrhythmics
Funk-soul-R&B-jazz-Afrobeat
Polyrhythmics sound originated in
Seattle's underground deep funk scene combining impossibly tight grooves with
bold brass and hypnotic percussion that showcased elements of R&B,
progressive jazz, and Afrobeat which defined the instrumental group's early era
sound.
Now on their thirteenth year as a
recording project and touring ensemble, the band's sound continues to evolve
following six full length albums, several EPs and live releases. The virtuosic
musicianship and musical conversation built on a relentless touring schedule of
the previous decade has led them to a brand of psych-funk that fills a room
with an impending mood where anything could happen - sometimes evoking their
brighter and cinematic Fela-influences,
but also a more sinister and darker turn toward a more progressive sonic
palette.
