The Polyphonic Spree is preparing for a busy summer with the June 19 release of its new album, "The Fragile Army," and subsequent tour, which is kicking off four days later in the band's hometown of Dallas.
The 23-stop tour brings the 20-plus musical collective to Milwaukee to play The Rave II on July 9.
The Polyphonic Spree have adopted a new look and sound for "The Fragile Army," with more driven, urgent songwriting and black military-style uniforms replacing their trademark robes. Reviewing a live set from this year's SXSW music festival, Pitchfork described the new Spree: "Less sedentary sun-worship and more a momentum-fueled call to arms. Less grace and shimmer, a little more chaos and danger. And oh yes -- still positively exhilarating to behold."
Still haven't heard the Spree's cover of Nirvana's "Lithium"? Check out the band's Myspace page.
