New Polyphonic Spree - "Light To Follow"

Thanks Matt for the heads up on the first track to surface from Tim DeLaughter's latest set of Sections. "Light To Follow" (that's §29 for those compiling such things) is a sprawling thumper, all slinky bassline with a mix of digi and acoustic percussion, later tipping into anthemic grandiosity (it's the Spree after all). Worth the grab, available at at YANP.

that's probably because if you live in dallas you can actually buy a copy already...at good records, of course.

The record that leaked is an old version. Not the new one.

I'll buy it, but... it doesn't really sound like them to me.

I'm really not a fan of the stripped back, electro sound. If there's 20+ of them, why sound like a four piece? I much preferred the fuller sound they used to make...I want fluttering flutes running all over the place, winds and brass going ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baaaaaa! etc etc...
