This new EP from Polyhymns is named “Hybrid Sunday” in reference to Sheffield’s Hybrid 3 rehearsal rooms and the fact that the band write and record, almost religiously, every Sunday morning. This came about because the band found they were often competing with noise from the bands in the next room, and it was only then that they could ensure peace and quiet. During the recording they also received guidance from local electronic music wizard Rob Gordon (co-founder of Warp Records) who lent them his Korg synthesiser and mastered the final tracks.

Polyhymns write and produce a mixture of electronic experimental music and psychedelic alt-folk songs and have been described as ‘equally chaotic and serene’ (@B4Tapes).

The band formed in Sheffield in 2019 and comprise of Andrew Bolam, Gavin Harris and Sam Smith and all previously worked together in folktronica group Little Glitches. Their first meeting was in a local night club chill out room bonding over a shared love of Burt Bacharach and Aphex Twin. The group take inspiration from Sheffield’s landscape, from the millstone grit to the ancient woodlands.

In their formative years Andrew spent time making primitive computer music on an old PC. Sam cut his teeth working in the Ninja Tune office in London and as a lighting engineer for both E17 and the legendary Blue Note Club. Gavin started his musical trajectory playing a snare in a pit village marching band. They further developed their musical skills at Sheffield’s infamous Red Tape Studios, where they were mentored by amongst others, bass player Jah Wobble and members of Pulp.

Their first single, released in May 2020, featured on the BBC Introducing Mixtape and received glowing reviews from Joyzine, God is in the TV zine and garnered comparisons to Smog, Neil Young and Lemon Jelly.

REALLY wish I'd subscribed sooner to be able to enjoy this on vinyl! Curious the artist cited 12 Monkeys and not La Jetee as one of the key inspirations. For me, this has a more somber, introspective and timeless feel more akin to La Jetee than 12 Monkeys (though I also am a big fan of Terry Gilliam). Gorgeous music and you get the bonus of a list of excellent movies to enjoy (another note to the artist: Time Crimes is also a good film to watch). Now to somehow procure a vinyl copy...

Fascinating chat with Mr. Concretism. Great to hear about his synths and software and the track by track analysis of The Concretism Archive vol.1 adds to the listening experience - more of that sort of thing please! Infinite Tapes
