The Polyphonic Spree

The Polyphonic Spree is synonymous with rebirth. Led by Tim DeLaughter, the group’s vision and sound have constantly evolved. Following a period of heartbreak and uncertainty as Tripping Daisy fell apart in 2000, Tim started over again. Accompanied by 23 musicians draped in robes, he introduced The Polyphonic Spree with the now-classic 2002 debut, The Beginning Stages of… The signature “Light & Day/Reach for the Sun” has surged through popular culture for over two decades. Delivering rapturous live experiences at countless festivals and on numerous late-night television shows, they also notably graced the stage at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert and opened an entire tour for the late David Bowie. Beyond Tim scoring Thumbsucker by filmmaker Mike Mills, the band contributed a cover of Nirvana’s “Lithium” to the Academy® Award-winning The Big Short. Along the way, they entranced listeners with the likes of Together We’re Heavy [2004], The Fragile Army [2007], Yes It’s True [2013], and Psychphonic [2014]. In the wake of the 2021 covers LP Afflatus, Dallas Morning News proclaimed, “The Spree Remains one of the more beloved names in the Texas rock landscape.” The Polyphonic Spree has quietly made an indelible impact upon culture since the turn-of-the-century. As the years pass, this impact has only magnified. In 2023, they embark on a new journey, Salvage Enterprise.
