Polvo

Album reviews

Shapes
Touch & Go (1997)
Some eight songs into Shapes, Polvo's sixth album and first since the magnificent Exploded Drawing, listeners get the first hint that this is, in fact, a Polvo record.

Polvo EP
Kitchen Puff (1991)
Chapel Hill, N.C.'s Polvo have been deceased for some time, but even the group's earliest recorded efforts continue to impress nearly a decade after being put to tape. Indeed, this self-titled EP, which compiles the contents on Polvo's debut double 7-inch, would seem to provide a virtual blueprint for the early sound of future contemporaries such as Versus, Seam, and Modest Mouse.
