During a new interview with Rolling Stone, Polyphia guitarist Tim Henson further discussed the band’s upcoming album. According to him, the effort is “heavier than anything [they have] ever done.”
Henson said the following:
“It’s an album that we are working on very diligently and we are very excited, and it’s pushing us in many ways to grow. I am not really doing the [guest singer] talk anymore because we don’t actually know which ones are gonna go on it. As I give too much information about it, it’s misleading to what it actually ends up becoming.”
He continued when asked if the record “might have a wide variety of guests”:
“Yes. It also might even have none. Who knows? Now I’ve thrown that wrench in there. That comes from the further exploration of the record. Its final form may not be how it originally looked when we first started working on it. It is an ever-evolving process.”
He also added:
“We wanna be finished by Halloween. We’ve actually put it in the calendar: ‘Album-finishing-party-slash-Halloween-party’ on the 31st, because we’re gonna get drunk that night. Ideally we finish it then, but who knows? This is one of those things where it just might make us both look stupid, because it might not end up being that way. But that’s the goal. Musically, it’s heavy. It’s heavier than anything we’ve ever done. Sonically, it is the most sound-design-heavy thing we’ve ever done.
At this stage, the concept is very much of creating something that interfaces between consciousness and reality. Music that almost induces out-of–body experiences, playing with frequencies that move your cells in a way that physically change the structure of your body by creating sound that affects you in a physical way. We’re playing with sound design in such a way that the frequencies are intended to evoke different states of consciousness.”
