Rating: 8 broken mirrors out of 10
A new record by one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time, Polvo. Let's not beat around the bush here, it's fuckin' fantastic from this obviously completely unbiased reviewer. For the most part this sounds like it could have come out after "Cor-Crane Secret" or one of their early classics. The production is a little better and there are synths and/or keyboards on some of the songs, but if you told me tracks like "Total Immersion" and "Light, Raking" were outtakes from those early years just now getting recorded I would completely believe you. There isn't a weak spot at any point of the album, just eight songs of Sonic Youth-inspired math rock the way the band was always meant to be.
