Re: What the guitar sounds like. You can plug a guitar into a standard amp and get a standard guitar sound, or you can run it through a computer and change it to sound like specific guitars (other guitar makers, other amps, other bands' guitars, etc.), or anything else at all. It's amazing.
I agree that Yas is another great one to check out! My favorite is Icronic though! It doesnt have a MV necessarily (just a still image video of the cover) but their drummer Clay Aeshliman has a playthrough of it that was filmed by Meinl Cymbals. (His sponsor) I pretty much watch that one daily lol
Hey, pro-tip. For youtube, the pause hotkey is "k", and to go back 10-seconds, it's "j". Far more reliable for reacting to music that way you don't miss anything during a pause and it gives your ears enough time to re-familiarize themselves with the song before hearing new sections, especially with more complicated stuff. As for the stranger? guitar sounds in this song, there's a lot of auto-wah going on. The songs I recommended from their second album are a little more like this and a bit less like Playing God, Ego Death, and ABC.
The silverish plating on their faces and guitars were made by a major artist who has worked with people like Grimes and Beyonce (who was also shouted out when this song released), who they don't associate with anymore as he was caught with SA allegations. They removed those parts from their instruments. We just see the bare guitars, bass and drums when they perform on stage.
I feel like Polyphia are trying to make rock and metal music for people who listen to rap and pop. They are trying to get as larger demographic as possible to listen to them, so they become world famous.
