Polvo – one of my top five favorite bands to ever exist; and any band that can merit a comparison to these heroes of mine is indeed a great band worthy of checking out. The Desert Fathers sound like the bastard stepchild of Polvo and early-nineties era Flaming Lips, equal parts poppy-psychedelica and twisted, strangely tuned guitars. There’s something so intoxicating about that bending guitar sound, and this album is chock full of it. For those who are keeping score and care, it was produced/recorded/whatever by Steve Albini. This is most certainly a sleeper hit of the year in my book.
