Over the past decade, local band Polyrhythmics have kept Seattle dancing with their funky blend of jazz, R&B, psych, and Afrobeat. Their most recent full-length, 2017's Caldera, found the eight-piece band recording live in the studios. "It's obviously more difficult technically and logistically to record an eight-piece band like this live all at once," saxophonist/flutist Art Brown said via a press release, "but we agreed that it was the only way to get the feel the way we wanted it. To really capture this music and that cohesive groove that's essential to what we do, we had to all be listening to each other and playing together at the same time." bit.ly

'Never Come Back' was the first track from Suddenly that I finished," Dan Snaith said. "It came together very quickly and was one of those tracks that is a lot fun to make. As soon as I landed on the main synthesizer chords and the repeated refrain the rest came together very quickly and naturally. I felt like it was my job to get out of the way and not over complicate or over think it. Sometimes the best pleasures are the simple ones."
