The Polyphonic Spree – The Beginning Stages Of... (2002)

This is a bit of an odd one. I had heard the first single, I'm not sure where, because I don't tend to listen to radio stations playing chart sounds, then saw this album, just released, in a boot fair sale for a quid.

I picked it up, listened, quite liked it, then put it away for over twenty years until now.

My minimal research (and looking at the cover) tells me they're still going, and at the time, were a 25 piece band, 10 of whom just sang, giving the band their big choral sound, and you can see from their distinctive white choir robes from the album cover.
