"I just learned the alphabet through polyphia, 2022" -Nik Nocturnal 2022

can we also appreciate production/editing/mixing engineers' work on that track, as well as the rest of the album? that precision and lightness is incredible

I was waiting for Nik's face when the vocals came on lmao

You missed one of the best comments ever below that music video. "How can their entire rhythm section be so solid when it's entirely made of Clay" ...

I’m not sure if anyone has pointed it out, but the part she is singing in Japanese is all of the Hiragana syllables which is essentially the “Japanese alphabet” if you want to think about it that way. So not only is she singing the English alphabet, but also the Japanese one as well!

I loved this so much, thank you!!!!!

I could listen to this song a thousand times in a row. It just has a perfect structure and her vocals do suit the band as well.

6:00 Ichika is in a couple bands with vocals, he used to be in one I forget the name of (I think that band has vocals but I don't really remember) and now he's in a band called dios

We might have just seen the start of a new genre here. Nik, I'm totally with you bro. These guys have such pop elements in their music and yet so awesome. We'll probably see them at the Grammy's pretty soon.

Definitely an anime OP for sure

When Tim did the in the cut video it absolutely blew my mind, and absolutely convinced me their music has to have vocals, it just sounds so well and complements each other so well

I think if we always got an instrumental version as well, I would be okay with more vocals. It is very different and took a bit to warm up to, but it does work well and if that is what they want to do I'm curious to see how far they can take it.

2011-2012 polyphia also has vocals, go search Resurrect EP with Vocals. And 2018 ofc, with Cuco, the track "So Strange".

I really hope this is gonna blow up on the radios and shit. This band is so damn technical and good that I really dont mind that they made "poppy commercial" music and the fucking deserve to be known

tbf there is another mostly Polythia track with vocals, they did provide some guitar work for Babymetal's last album (Title is Brand New Day) which also sounds very Polythia with vocals

It is kinda funny, cause Neurotica I didn't vibe with immediately (I do now), but with this one I couldn't resist moving to the groove. This song is very danceable and happy, which I believe is the point.

What could I say is that this is the proof of their growth to be more versatile than ever. You took out the vocals, it's still a legit polyphia tunes. With vocal, it's a fresher take for their artistic direction without the feeling it's been forced out to be a heavy pop oriented song. Really shows how great their musicality grows every releases. I want to expect the unexpected in the future album!

It's interesting to say the least, I hope this song is the one that gets them the breakthrough they've been looking for

I get the same ole guitar/drum/bass greatness from the bois, plus a cool vocal feature. Cuco joined them in their last album with their song So Strange. It's a very good song. I also discovered Cuco through Polyphia. These men some how rally pop artists into working with them. Allowing the pop artists to do their thing while Polyphia does Polyphia things....

i've been waiting for this video SINCE THEY RELEASED THE MUSIC!!!

Dude that was like the internet in a single song. So much going on. Love it

Honestly surprised they havent went full pop with their style. Was expecting that fully leading up to this album release. While the first two single didn't meet that expectation it will be interesting to see their other cuts off it.

"Neurotica" was kinda underwhelming imo, but this sh*t is fire

Everything they've released for this album is hot dogshit.

I wonder if they would ever bring on a vocalist full time

I feel like they’d only ever do what producers do and have featured vocals across an album. But then you have for instance Flume who brings in Kucka like all the time and so she gets kind of associated as the “flume voice”. The track list for Polyphia 4 is out and it has a ton of different vocals including Chino from Deftones

Idk part of me wants to see that but at the same time people really like being able to listen to and appreciate just the instrumentals. Honestly though, it could also be what gives them big commercial success.

THANK YOU. I was looking for this comment so bad. Criminal how underrated Unprocessed is among Polyphia's listeners. Just my opinion but the vocals make Unprocessed way better for me, especially listening to them for a while. I get bored of Polyphia after a few songs but I could listen to Unprocessed all day long.

@@XxNoMErcY99xX same here. Unprocessed just has a little more to offer. Polyphia is too accessible for my particular taste. Animals As Leaders is more my style in terms of instrumental.

Feels like Polyphia dipped into the "city pop" jar for this one. I dig it. Its far different from anything I'd usually listen to, but damn is it catchy!

A lot of Japanese and Korean pop sounds like this. They do some pretty wild stuff compared to radio pop in the US.

I was so desperately waiting for nik to watch this

Polyphia then: "just wait til we get vocals, you'll all be dead" Polyphia now: *has my ass in a chokehold with this song*
