POLYPHONIC SPREE SPLITS INTO 37 SOLO PROJECTS

Cult-like sun-worshipping Disney rejects the Polyphonic Spree announced their disbanding today citing musical differences, personal differences, monetary issues, family leave, substance abuse and alcohol abuse issues for the split. The group who made a big splash in 2003 with their swirling white robes and childlike songs of love and solar power were perhaps best known as the largest indie rock undertaking in history. All 37 original members have started solo projects. First violinist Claire McCartneywood will now front Mystical Tetrahedron, a free-folk ensemble with members of ESPers. Oboeist Stan Klinkton has already issued a solo ep of abrasive noise under the Crank Cranium banner while bassist Teve Samson will follow his jam-band urges with Holy Roller Granola. Lead guitarist Guy Pfiston will follow with a reggae-infused calypso group Da Monitas and rhythm guitarist Kurt Linksmith is in the studio with alt-metal supergroup Kweezy. Polyphonic Spree frontman Tim DeLauer will continue as a solo performer with the Monophonic Spree, his debut album on Hollywood Records will be called, "Fuck it."
