Raf Spielman was born and raised on the West Coast. He is active in the fringe music community through his Eggy Records label, and has released music on the Night-People, Digitalis and Not Not Fun labels, among others. A book of Spielman’s drawings was recently published by Container Corps Arts Press. Following a handful of cassettes and a 7-inch under the Polyps moniker, this debut LP was assembled from a year and half’s worth of sound and field recordings and is his most realized statement to date. “It’s never right, because it doesn’t have everything in it” (de Kooning). “[The Polyps’ Peixe is a] worthwhile little bedroom pop single.... A-side is some bouncy Elephant 6 type pop with the distortion cranked up; B-side shows a more sensitive, late-night brooding feel to it, with a prominent Xpressway bent—strongly reminiscent of the Jefferies Bros or Pumice. A solid effort from one Raf Spielman and guests, aiming to keep it pure.” —Dusted
