polvo

they say a great band has to be loose and tight at the same time. such was the case with polvo. starting in the early 90s in chapel hill, nc, polvo made some of the most fucked-up songs ever. lots of parts. scary bass and almost out-of-tune guitars. brilliantly mean lyrics. in "feather of forgiveness", singer ash bowie yells "i want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes". i love that guy. buy some stuff! celebrate the new dark age is a good place to start.
