Pólýfónía (in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈpʰouːlifounia/) is the second album by Icelandic Apparat Organ Quartet, released by the Icelandic label 12 Tónar on 9 December 2010. A digital version was released on 3 December 2010. The cover was designed by Siggi Eggertsson. According to the band, the album is "more accessible and more suited to the musical tastes of the masses. The working title was at one point 'Fanfare for the Common Man.'"[1]

The album is composed almost entirely of new, unreleased material, except for the song "Macht parat den Apparat," which was featured on the 2003 single for "Romantika." The track "Cargo Frakt" was released as a single on gogoyoko on November 29, 2010.
