The robe-wearing, good-time promoting, pop-rock orchestra
that is Dallas' Polyphonic Spree will release their third
album, The Fragile Army, on june 19th.
The twenty-plus-member band have become known for their
wildly celebratory material -- about the joy of love and
relationships -- since their 2003 debut, The Beginning
Stages of the Polyphonic Spree. But frontman and primary
songwriter Tim DeLaughter says that, this time around,
expect the ensemble to deal with the political issues of
the day -- something the Spree haven't done since the
Iraq-inspired "Soldier Girl."
"It's definitely going to have that [orchestral] element,
but it's our most urgent record to date. It's a bit
resonant of the times," DeLaughter says of the new cuts.
"There's a song called 'The Fragile Army,' the title
track, and it's basically an ode-to-Bush song. It's
disgruntled with how things have been going and how split
up it seems we are as Americans. There is a sense, for me,
of trying to create some sort of unity with people."
In order to push themselves in the studio, DeLaughter
enlisted John Congleton, singer for punk trio the Paper
Chase, as producer. "[His band] is kind of a complete
opposite of Polyphonic Spree, and we just thought it'd be
interesting," he explains. "It's been a great
relationship."
Currently laying down the string parts in Texas, the Spree
have also visited Minnesota, where they put down the
drums, and the Illinois studio of producer Steve Albini
(Nirvana, Pixies), where they recorded the group's
signature choir parts.
"John does a lot of records there and he's friends with
Steve," Delaughter said of Albini's Electrical Audio in
Chicago. "John said the B room would be great room for the
choir, and it was awesome. I'm super-excited about how
that turned out. The girls did fantastic."
The Spree are already working on changing the look of the
gospel-style robes for their upcoming live dates in
support of The Fragile Army -- as well as a new stage
show. "It's a rock record!" says DeLaughter. "It's
high-energy and electric. And I think my 'Tripping Daisy'
days might be slipping in there as well."
