POLYPLUS (Twitter, Instagram) is an all-star instrumental jazz band of four, formed of members from Calmera, fox capture plan, JABBERLOOP and Neighbors Complain. This new 2nd album titled "move" includes their first ever vocal collaboration, and that in the form of poetry reading performed by comedian Seyarogai ojisan.
Another collaboration is one with visual company yucca (not the band of the same name), which influenced the making of song "silhouette" by preparing keywords from which the band took inspiration to make the music. A member of yucca who plays guitar in instrumental band sow also played on this song.
This release follows first album "debut (live at tokyo)" (2018, , Spotify, OTOTOY) and EP "next" (2019,
, Spotify, OTOTOY). The members of POLYPLUS are: Melten (from JABBERLOOP, fox capture plan) on keyboards, Yuki (from JABBERLOOP) on bass, Tsuuji (from Calmera) on saxophone, and Gotti (from Neighbors Complain) on guitar.
POLYPLUS played an online streamed show just recently (on August 25), and it's still available for viewing until September 1st (JST). You can get a viewing ticket for ¥2000 here.
