Polvo - Exploded Drawing CD


Our Price: $14.29 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

With 1996's double-album EXPLODED DRAWING, North Carolina's angular Polvo arrived at the culmination of all their experimentation up to that point. Travelers on the same twisted guitar hero journey as Television and Sonic Youth before them, Polvo refuse to settle for easy answers throughout the album. A pronounced Eastern influence comes to the fore in "Passive Attack" and "The Secret's Secret," but elsewhere the focus is on complex time signatures and off-kilter rhythms. And the joy of discovery in more straightforward rockers like "High-Wire Moves" and "Crumbling Down" rewards the listener's patience throughout.

Recorded at Squid Hell Studios, Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts in October 1995.

Recording information: Squid Hell Studios, J.P., MA (10/1995).

Polvo includes: Ash Bowie.

RIP (8/96, p.69) - 4 (out of 5) - "...[EXPLODED DRAWING has] some dazzling compositions, some eyeball-loosening guitar work, and, yeah, even a song or two of Yes-style length..."

Exploded Drawing Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Unlike any other indie rock
the content in this album is pure genious. Why not have a long intro to a song with their unique picking and start song 2 as the real rev starter? The whole album if heard in order is a rollercoaster with 1-2 tracks being catchy offbeat songs then slowed down with a guitar feedback in the wind cruise for a minute or two and get ready to jam again. It grows on you and becomes infectuous.It will be your cd of the month or maybe year...
