Polymatroid is a New York-based experimental/indie rock group. Their debut release, 'See the Whole Staircase,' received mixed reviews from critics. Pitchfork gave the album a fairly good review, as did Allmusic (4 Stars) and Rolling Stone (3.5 Stars). Q Magazine, the Guardian, and NME gave poor reviews. (2 Stars, 2 Stars, and 3/10, respectively.) According to keyboardist and vocalist Vastice Veconi, the album was "A mix of things. Some of that stuff I've had written in my head for ages, but never really bothered with." The band will shortly be going on a US tour to promote the album. Polymatroid consists of: Alex Nycht - Vocals Vastice Veconi - Keyboard, Backing Vocals, Percussion Michael Vivaldi - Lead Guitar Damien Edwards - Rhythm Guitar Nathan "Tech" Edwards - Bass, Backing Vocals Vladamir Claytonn - Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals Track Listing (All songs written by Vastice Veconi and Tech Edwards except where noted.): 1.

"Aribender"? Mother's uncle. Thanks for pointing that out.

i read it 3-4 times a week.
LP4 was fairly mediocre, but seriously? that review told me almost nothing about the album.

Well hey, milkshakes are awesome. There IS a bright side.

The sad part is that the comic reviews are already better than several pitchfork ones.
Did you read their review of LP4? Reeeeeeally vague.

The vast majority of those bands are absolutely epic. As for older stuff, I would recommend The Who, Pink Floyd, Cream, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones, Queen, The Traveling Wilburys, Paul McCartney & Wings, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Buddy Holly & the Crickets, and Elvis Costello.
