Biography

It might be too soon to declare In Prism the best Polvo record ever…but it might be okay by the time you’re done reading this.

It’s de rigueur to ask the question, Why now? What makes a band decide to get back together for a few shows ten years later, and then for a few more? Well, I don’t know because I didn’t ask them, because the reasons don’t matter, only the results. Isn’t it pretty much… Read more in Amazon's Polvo Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Ranks With Their Best Work, February 13, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Prism (Audio CD)
This record really grows on you with time. I liked it from the moment I heard it, but my appreciation grows with each listen. At this point, it probably ranks as my second favorite Polvo record, after their Celebrate the New Dark Age EP.

This review is from: In Prism [Vinyl] (Vinyl)
I've bought all albums by POLVO thoughout the years and believe this one is their best achievement by far. Some of the tracks subtly allude to sounds and arrangements previously heard but that does not curb creativity from the band and excitement for the fan. I particularly enjoyed the guitars and the work on drums. Their reunion, after such a long silence, was really worth it. A mighty comeback.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was just daydreaming about this band reuniting!, September 11, 2009
This review is from: In Prism (Audio CD)
It's good to have Polvo back. I had just been having my own Polvo listening revival when I heard the announcement that "In Prism" was being recorded. While the arc of "Shapes" and "This Eclipse" is interrupted by 12 years, they have picked up the scattered shards and reassembled them admirably -- if not where they left off, at least in a seemingly very focused place.

"In Prism" is a passionate record, heavier and with knottier guitars than the often detuned mystical mathy-ness of Polvo's past work on Touch and Go Records. "In Prism" is even a little less angular, riding grooves longer than records like "Exploded Drawing" or "Celebrate The New Dark Age" would have. While some of the intricacy going on is dominated (and thereby sacrificed) by the thickly-mixed guitars and drums, this is still a great record from a highly underrated band.

The unusual guitar interplay is still very present, you just have to listen a little harder for it underneath their newly energized, trademark slippery riffs.
