Washington, DC fuzz rock trio Polyon share their new single “Blue” with Noisey. The song is the first to come from the Blue EP, the band’s sophomore EP and first for Funny/Not Funny Records, due out on November 13.
Polyon are one of the burgeoning DC scene’s finest bands and undoubtedly the cities fuzziest and spaciest DIY band… bringing their signature “mutant space debris” to our nation’s capital since 2013. The band are busy lining up tour dates throughout the East Coast in support of the record (dates can be found below) and look forward to bringing their immersive live show on the road. Inspired by the “space rock” sound of the early 90’s, Polyon play an overblown version of the genre, thick with fuzz and delay, an otherworldly mix of buried melodies and blistering distortion that fit perfectly together, with a crushing beauty in their unwieldy guitar tones.

Noisey premiered “Blue” stating, “…the title track “Blue,” which serves as a perfect introduction to what the band’s sound is all about. They take their cues from fuzzy bands of the past, but distill their best elements into something undeniably catchy and fun. Throughout the song, the textures and tones on the guitar match up with the wavy reverb on the vocals succinctly. Listening to the song puts you in the place of the tiny astroman on the cover, bouncing through moon mountains, presumably watching the great world spin. Maybe one day you can listen to Polyon on the moon, but until then…”
