kevbird funkiness backed by mellow orchestrations
sweet and cheezy goodness Favorite track: Nurple.

Peter Jones Jazz with a wonderfully funky sound with a touch of soul. All good tracks - and I got up and "danced" (hm...) to Revenge of the Sneaky Spider it was so good. My only complaint - not one I often make - is the mix was a bit too bright - "all horns, no bass". Favorite track: Nurple.

J-p3 There's something about fantastic afro-beat funk and the warming temperatures that just go so well together. Great instrumental 8 piece working like puzzle pieces to knock out some seriously catchy jams. Favorite track: Moonroof.

about

Polyrhythmics is an all original 8-piece funk and worldbeat orchestra comprised of some of Seattle’s finest rhythmic and melodic musicians. The music is a fusion of styles from all over the world, featuring unique, forward thinking arrangements, stellar improvisation, heavy grooves, and dynamic interplay.

Polyrhythmics have quickly gained notoriety playing to packed clubs and festival crowds all over the Northwest. Their self-titled, and now sold-out EP released in 2010, has been charting on radio playlists up and down the west coast.

After a year of further developing their distinct sound, the band launched a “kickstarter” campaign to fund the recording of their first full-length album. The resulting “Labrador” is a 9-song powerhouse full of brooding dance grooves, and catchy layered horn melodies. “Labrador” was recorded at Sleng Teng Studios ,specifically for it’s vintage sound, and the recording process was very similar to their approach on the EP: “live” in one room, just like the greats of yester-year.

Drawing from modern influences such as the Budos Band and The Whitefield Brothers as well as their original influences, Fela Kuti, and James Brown, “Labrador” is a shining example of the chemistry between these 8 talented performers and why, in a seemingly endless sea of new funk bands, Polyrhythmics is the band everyone is talking about.

I love every song on this album, but Memphis and Al Greenery are exceptionally great. The tributes are so well done and have led me down some unexpected musical rabbit holes. Thank you! clesteve
