Gus Gus create a multi-vibe stir with Polydistortion. At times as cold and icy as their frosty homeland (Iceland), at other times a rumbling volcano of pyrotechnic rhythms, the CD is a study in the dynamics of the electronic. Believe" is a rhythmic juggernaut, while "Gun" is a moody study of beats and texture. Why" is particularly stunning, a sparse torch song. Gus Gus' first formal album as a full band was a quietly astonishing record – the "new Sugarcubes" tag which the band gained was always misleading, since instead of that group's fractured avant-rock approach, Gus Gus always tended toward a mix of understatement and chilling power.

Gus Gus' first formal album as a full band was a quietly astonishing record - the "new Sugarcubes" tag which the band gained was always misleading, since instead of that group's fractured avant-rock approach, Gus Gus always tended toward a mix of understatement and chilling power. Also, the collective had its roots much more firmly planted in dance, but not merely modern techno - everything from exotica (opening track "Oh" prominently samples Arthur Lyman) to grimy hip-hop breaks formed the basis of Polydistortion

This album has an average beat per minute of 118 BPM (slowest/fastest tempos: 78/170 BPM). See its BPM profile at the bottom of the page. Tracklist Polydistortion.
