Polyphonic Spree Unleash a 'Fragile Army' - AOL Music News Blog: "America's favorite robed cult band, the Polyphonic Spree, are weeks away from finishing their third record, 'The Fragile Army.'
'People are gonna be surprised,' says curly-haired group leader Tim DeLaughter from his Texas home. 'It's the record we wanted to make, but it's different.'
Fans expecting another Spree classic full of big choruses and feel-good songs will still find those elements, but not as they are used to hearing them.
'It's definitely going to be more of a rock record than anything we've ever put out,' he says. 'It's just such a hard group to keep together, because there's so many of us. I think that nervous energy came out on this record... There's this urgency to rock, and that was kind of born out of 30 people being together for as long as we have.'
The Spree head out next month in support of Matisyahu. In the meantime they will release an iTunes EP, mostly covers, in September. Tentatively set tracks include Nirvana's 'Lithium,' the Psychedelic Furs' 'Love My Way,' the Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper' and 'Sonic Bloom' from Delaughter's former outfit, Tripping Daisy. "
