The Polyphonic Spree

This ensemble includes a 10-person choir, a pair of keyboardists, a percussionist, drummer, bassist, guitarist, flautist, trumpeter, trombonist, violinist/violist, harpist, French horn player, a pedal steel player, theremin player, and an electronic effects person.

I don’t know this group but a co-worker of mine went to a recent music festival in Norman, Oklahoma where this monstrosity of a band was headlining.

“We Crawl” is off their third album, The Fragile Army, from 2007.
