Poly&theStatics

While it might seem a bit redundant posting about an Adelaide band long since dead, whose career peaked with a few key local support slots (Lemonheads, others I'm sure) and a wad of JJJ Unearthed attention, with Richard Kingsmill, Zan Rowe and even Patience Hodgson praising their tunes, what the heck, I like em that much.

With the 2007 release of their third EP, in which they perfected the two sides of their twitchy rock/whimsical pop coin, they split, their members eventually re-configuring into two new bands that distilled elements of each side: The Honey Pies and Billy Bishop Goes To War (what a knack for excellent band names). But since these bands havent put anything out yet, I'll take the opportunity to revel in their former glory.

Here are two tracks from Paper Lanterns, that encapsulate the stylistic dichotomy that made them so darn cool.

Poly&theStatics - I Know Too Well
Poly&theStatics - Hide the Bottles
