Polymorth - Entropy
Release Date: November 19, 2020
Label: selfrelease
Format: Digital
Length: 20:38
Origin: Diss, England
Genre: Prog Rock / Math Rock

Oli Mortham is a young musician from the small town of Diss in South Norfolk. Oli also plays guitars and bass for Post Hardcore / Mathcore band Mandala. Recently, his solo project Polymorth has celebrated the release of its first EP "Entropia". Here, Oli Mortham is responsible for all instruments. That means, synths, guitars, bass and vocals were recorded by the artist, and he used Superior Drummer 3 to program the drums.


The "Entropy" EP features three tracks and a total playtime of twenty minutes. Polymorth's sound is predominantly coined by odd metres and intelligent shifts. Rough sounds and heavy riffs create an eclectic and progressive musical landscape that is very catchy despite its complex structure. On top of the sophisticated layers of instrumentals, Oli Mortham sings in a clean and solid voice. Here, the sound of "Entropia" kind of reminds me of Lincolnshire's Bear Makes Ninja.


The atmosphere created here is both, dark and soothing. Polymorth's music is situated somewhere between Prog Rock, Prog Metal, eclectic Math Rock and the soulful sound of Millenium-era Alternative Rock. It is amazing, how much depth Oli Mortham has created in this rather short release.
