Polyrhythmics sound originated in Seattles underground deep funk scene combining impossibly tight grooves with bold brass and hypnotic percussion that showcased elements of Rs early era sound. Now on their 14th year as a recording project and touring ensemble, the bands sound continues to evolve with the 2023 release of their seventh full length album Filter System.
