Polvo & Beatles

Polvo - In Prism

What was I hoping for when I heard that Polvo was recording again? In Prism was pretty damn close. I couldn't be more satisfied with this one, they definitely got back together for a reason. DLB was right, there's lots of Cor-Crane Secret mixed in with some Exploded Drawing. I love the overall heavier sound, hoping for more before too long.



The Beatles - The Beatles (White Album) Re-Master


People slap the label "re-mastered" on a lot of things these days. Most of the time it means somebody added compression and jacked the levels up to 11. Not this time around. Pitchfork has a great article on how/why these were mastered the right way as opposed to continuing the "loudness war".

If you're on the fence about grabbing these, trust me you won't be disappointed. Watch any crappy VHS copy of your favorite movie, then watch the DVD. That's what I'm talking about. These disks sounds about as good as you're ever going to hear em, and I swear I can hear little details that I never noticed before. Well worth the bucks, picking up some more as soon as I can.

Polvo - In Prism

Hells Yeah!! I haven't been this excited about a new album in years and it is making me so happy. This album kicks so much ass. It's like they took Shapes, Celebrate the New Dark Age and Exploded Drawing and threw them in a blender. Also, it appears that the drummer really wanted to be heard on this album. The sound is excellent and the album is pretty solid. I am so glad to have Polvo back and I hope they put out some more solid albums. Go get this album now!

New Polvo In One Week

In Prism comes out on the 8th, I haven't been this excited about an album in a long long time. It's like an early xmas gift that I never thought I'd get. ( thanks in part to Explosions In The Sky )

Sounds like a little time off has been good for them. You can check out one of the new tunes, Beggars Bowl, on Pitchfork. I'm liking the somewhat heavier sound on this one. Time to dust off Celebrate The New Dark Age for a week while I wait.

My day is now full of sunshine and babies and laughing!!

I'm going to crap my pants with excitement. Polvo, haven't released an album in 12 years, who just recently reunited (thank you explosions in the sky) and who have been touring lately, are going to release a new album on Sept 8th. Oh man, September cannot get here fast enough.
