New and funky: 'Chophouse' (single) - Polyrhythmics

Polyrhythmics, an 8-piece band from Seattle, dropped their new single ‘Chophouse’, and it sounds just like they describe it: “a high-octane groove with the precision of a black belt and the power of a roundhouse kick!”

Polyrhythmics sound originated in Seattle’s underground deep funk scene combining impossibly tight grooves with bold brass and hypnotic percussion that showcased elements of R&B, progressive jazz, and Afrobeat which defined the instrumental group’s early era sound.  

Now on their thirteenth year as a recording project and touring ensemble, the band’s sound continues to evolve following six full length albums, several EPs and live releases. The virtuosic musicianship and musical conversation built on a relentless touring schedule of the previous decade has led them to a brand of psych-funk that fills a room with an impending mood where anything could happen - sometimes evoking their brighter and cinematic Fela-influences, but also a more sinister and darker turn toward a more progressive sonic palette. - Polyrhythmics
