Svart Records released POLYMOON’s first single ‘Malamalama’, including a music video

Somewhere between cosmic space rock and progressive psychedelia are POLYMOON, a new band from Tampere, Finland. The basic elements of POLYMOON are endless sonic reflections in the night sky, crushing fuzz guitars and undulating synthesizers. The backbone of the entity is a symbiosis of complex drum sequences and pulsating bass guitar.

Malamalama is the first single off the POLYMOON debut album Caterpillars of Creation, out now via all digital outlets. Caterpillars of Creation will be released by Svart Records on the 4th of September, 2020.

Malamalama (lit. the light of knowledge) is the crimson heart pounding in the chest of POLYMOON. Malamalama is the lifeblood of POLYMOON: it combines an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere with heavy-prog soundscapes. Together these elements form the progressive-psychedelic nectar flowing in the orchestra’s heart. Malamalama is like a deep feverish dream from which one does not want to wake up. In its essence, Malamalama is nostalgia for times gone by: a longing for something long gone.

The album’s co-producer Jun-His, also known as the voice of Oranssi Pazuzu, comments:

“Polymoon are the new open-minded young mages of the explosive psychedelia rock scene that Finland and Tampere area has been producing over the recent years. The rich and colorful sound of the band delivers really fresh and beautiful ideas to the table. And they are being served with such a passion that it makes you think of the days when music was standing out for a revolution. And not in that nostalgic manner, but in a way that makes you experience something important is happening right here and now”

In the music of POLYMOON, euphoria and melancholia converge to guide the listener to another level of being to embrace the monolith of psychedelia. POLYMOON is an ensemble of the end times, a formless entity behind the clandestine curtain.
