Blending elements of neo-soul, electronica, hip-hop, and rock, Florida-based indie trio
Polyenso refer to their style as "urban indie progressive." The roots of
Polyenso date back to 2008 when the group's three members, Brennan Taulbee,
Alexander Schultz, and Denny Agosto, originally formed the St. Petersburg-based post-hardcore group Oceana. Following a handful of releases for Rise Records and an overall shift in their sound, Oceana eventually morphed into the brighter-toned
Polyenso during the recording of what would become their 2012 debut, One Big Particular Loop. Their new music shared similarities with soulful indie rock experimentalists like
Glass Animals and
Alt-J, and the band cited a variety of eclectic influences from
Flying Lotus to
Q-Tip and
Björk. EP1 arrived in 2015, previewing four new tracks that would be featured on their subsequent follow-up album. In the spring of 2016,
Polyenso delivered their sophomore LP,
Pure in the Plastic. ~ Timothy Monger
