Polyphemus

Polyphemus (named for the cyclops son of Poseidon and Thoosa in Homer's Odyssey) is the project of Brian Leary and Elvira Corral, who operated from Palm Desert, CA (near Joshua Tree National Park). Heavily inspired by Byrds and Who, Leary writes songs that bring back the hippie era's mellow side. Elvira Corral's vocals give the music an even more ethereal quality. Leary passed away in 2016.
