Polyps / Ants On The Golden Cone

Hello Sunshine / Woodsist

Raf Spielman was born and raised on the West Coast. He is active in the fringe music community through his Eggy Records label, and has released music on the Night-People, Digitalis and Not Not Fun labels, among others. A book of Spielman’s drawings was recently published by Container Corps Arts Press. Following a handful of cassettes and a 7-inch under the Polyps moniker, this debut LP was assembled from a year and half’s worth of sound and field recordings and is his most realized statement to date. “It’s never right, because it doesn’t have everything in it” (de Kooning).  “[The Polyps’ Peixe is a] worthwhile little bedroom pop single.... A-side is some bouncy Elephant 6 type pop with the distortion cranked up; B-side shows a more sensitive, late-night brooding feel to it, with a prominent Xpressway bent—strongly reminiscent of the Jefferies Bros or Pumice. A solid effort from one Raf Spielman and guests, aiming to keep it pure.” —Dusted
