What do you do when you feel like you're surrounded by darkness and demons? Some pull up the covers and hide, but not The Polyphonic Spree. Their exciting new album, The Fragile Army, is an exuberant and passionate explosion that finds the Dallas-based symphonic rock group joyfully raging against the dying of the light with newfound zeal. "We were going in a high-energy direction, because that's the way we are in our live show," declares co-leader/songwriter Tim DeLaughter. "I think that this album is the one that best captures the Spree live experience." The band's other leader/songwriter, Julie Doyle, is equally excited about their third LP. "We really hit the nail on the head this time; this is the Spree at its finest."
