Polyrhythmics - Octagon (2015)

2015 has been a busy year for Polyrhythmics. The release of their full length album Libra Stripes in 2013 propelled them into appearances at major festivals across the country and fueled extended tours North, South, East, and West, energizing dancers and fans of creative groove music everywhere. Now they follow up with Octagon, a cinematic album that builds on the funk and afrobeat sounds of their previous work with psychedelic layers and fiery rhythms that will continue to get audiences out on the dance floor. Their third fulllength album is another strong piece of evidence that the band has a story to tell unlike the funk bands of the past and different than any band on the scene today. From the electrifying 3 piece horn lines to the infectious interplay between the members of the rhythm section, each track takes the listener on a visceral journey, from section to groove infused section. Not just for vinyl heads, not just for dancers, Polyrhythmics make music in which listeners will get lost, get hyped, and get down.
