I fear fear
Fear is the anxiety of your mother leaving you after school
And never coming back
Fear is getting struck by the person you love
And it being used an act to gain respect
Fear is the consequence of potentially
Not having enough to eat
Fear is the chain that binds us to
The psychological past and future
The look in a person's eyes when pain takes hold
And destroys their capacity for freedom of mind
Fear is our bridge to evil...
Seattle band Polyrhythmics perfect a mad-scientist approach to afrobeat on their latest record, switching up styles and textures as they go. Bandcamp New & Notable May 20, 2020
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
