They’ve ditched the Santa hats and now The Polyphonic Spree will release their first proper studio album since 2007’s The Fragile Army. It’s called Yes, It’s True, sports 11 tracks, and hits stores May 28th via Good Records.
“The songs here are from many different periods in the last few years,” frontman Tim DeLaughter explains. “This record feels like a collection of “songs” rather than a long listening piece which we’ve done previously in the Spree stylistically. It’s kind of refreshing.
The album was recorded in stages and produced by The Speekers alongside Eric Drew Feldman (PJ Harvey, Captain Beefheart) with mixing done by Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, U2). Stream the album’s delectable first track “You Don’t Know Me” below, and consult the full tracklist shortly after.
