Polymath EP receives great reviews on US websites

The Polymath EP has received a couple of great reviews on two US music websites, Sonic Frontiers and Angry Ape.

After the release of the EP through our Canadian couterparts Amok Recordings the accolades have been coming thick and fast from across the pond! Here's a quick excerpt from each. You can read the full reviews at the links below...

Angry Ape: "There is also commercial appeal to these tracks too, these songs are not just experimental for mere pleasure, there’s plenty of purpose as well as market viability. The shamanic “Sonrisa” is testament to this, as Eastern flavored cello gives way to a Mike Patton inspired spoken word segment. Frontman Tom Walsh later gets a chance to show off his considerable vocal prowess giving Polymath’s music a theatrical sheen, like a young Pete Hamill. Elsewhere, the concerto/piano vocal opening of “Devilette” reminds of Muse before it explodes into an ambitious cacophony of sound, where see-sawing orchestration mingles with dynamic percussion, dramatic guitar and Walsh’s falsetto."

Sonic Frontiers: "You heard it right, Polymath is open-sourcing their band. “Sounds great,” you say, “but does it actually work?”

Give their debut EP a listen and you’ll undoubtedly find the answer to be a resounding “Yes.” In just the short time span of this three-song EP, Polymath establishes an impressively strong foundation for their sound. An artistic blend of modern rock, industrial, and alternative styles, the release is sure to capture the attention of just about anyone interested in great music. Catchy hooks, melodic riffs and a unique array of vocal styles keep the material fresh and interesting through every moment, and at the end of it all we can only wish there was more of this stuff to enjoy."
