PolvoIn Prism
Merge Records [2009]
Fire Drill Review:
Twelve years is a longtime between records but In Prism is just that from noise rockers Polvo. The band was a staple for this genre in the early nineties and released four solid records in a six year time span. Fast forward to 2009 and the group has reunited and sound as if they never left. The band once again accomplishes demanding your attention throughout In Prism, which has a six minute song average, by supplying just the right balance of free form rock and catchy lyrics. Polvo are able to combine heavy riffs, drone off moments and surprise melodies, in order to make In Prism more then just a comeback album, but a lesson to younger bands how to be at the top of your genre!
