With members hailing from Canada, Argentina, Finland and The United States, the diversely talented and remarkably innovative music group six impala is best known for their explosive energy, provocative instrumentation and addictive song writing. Growing up online and developing their sensibilities in such different cultures and environments, six impala’s inspirations have grown incredibly contrasted, varied and personal in a way that forces discussion and compromise that results in an unmatched sonic identity. 

‘poppy essence’ is inspired by their latest album EARWAX, a tragic narrative tale with an unapologetically aggressive sound palette comprising bombastic guitars, angelic vocal tones, ripping screams and sinister synth work. When we first contacted six impala, they agreed to work with us—but only if we met in the flesh to retrieve their work. We had a lot on our plate so we sent an intern. We never saw them again, but a few months later received a package with this message attached:::

“I don’t recall how I arrived, but when I awoke I was immediately overwhelmed by an expansive white emptiness that festered far beyond the corners of my peripheral view. The only thing in sight was this puzzling collection of orbs floating in front of me. At the center of these was a screen, a keyboard and a large silver platter. The screen read ‘resonance extraction pending: press “enter” to commence’. I’m not sure what I expected, but upon hitting enter on the keyboard I started to hear a familiar, dark and dizzying pluck sound repeat itself six times in succession– suddenly, my very soul was extracted, stretched like putty, my fibers decoupled, I was reshaped as pure resonance and stuffed inside this box. When the process was complete, I collapsed and landed on the platter from before where they labeled me ‘poppy essence’.
POPPY ESSENCE IS THE MANIFESTATION OF RESONANCE IN UPPER PLANE - RESONANCE IS A LIFE FORCE SUBDIVIDED INTO NEUTRAL, CYNICAL, SORROWED, SILLY, JOYOUS AND OPALINE TYPES. THANKS TO THE INVENTION OF THE RESONANCE DRIVE, THIS ESSENCE HAS BEEN CAREFULLY PACKAGED AND MADE SHAREABLE WITH ALL OF HUMANITY, DESPITE YOUR LOWLY EXISTENCES.”
