"Ash is like some kind of musical genius," Mary Timony said, in some interview someplace.

And it's true.

giventofly87 Polvo’s one of those bands that burrows under your skin, snakes its way to your mind, and never lets go. There’s no direct comparison to what they’re able to do, making epic rollercoaster indie rock with bending, twisting riffs that are both nimble and heavy, angular and soft, clashing and melodic. This first album shows a band so confident in its sound so quickly, they simply can’t be ignored. Favorite track: Well Is Deep.

I first heard these guys back in college. Great band from the Triangle that I played often during my time at WXDU. Favorite track: Vibracobra.

about

Polvo Chapel Hill, North Carolina

One of the most popular and accomplished bands in the arty, noisy rock genre, Polvo revels in dissonant, intricately layered guitars that often employed alternate tunings; odd, off-kilter rhythms; an emphasis on dense sonic texture; and unorthodox song structures that, nonetheless, are often unconventionally melodic. ... more
