MORE INFO:
In Prism is the best Polvo record even before you get to the majestic "A Link in the Chain," serene and tempestuous like few other things you'll hear. The album was recorded with Brian Paulson, and Polvo has never sounded better. Polvo spent 1990-98 giving voice to a chorus of discrete rock & roll ideas that really hadn't been heard before. While there was nothing wrong before, it's now so much more right-perhaps because after ten years, after other bands and their tours and records and worries (if they had any), none of the peripheral stuff matters anymore. -Mike Wolf, NYC, June 2009
- Peak Vinyl 2-LP: Double LP on opaque yellow color vinyl housed in the same packaging as the standard version. 45RPM. Full album download included.
KEY POINTS
- The wildly underrated 2009 album from Chapel Hill noise/indie rock pioneers Polvo
- Re-pressed for the first time since 2009 (first press sold out pretty quick).
- The fourth Polvo release to be reissued in recent years following Today's Active Lifestyles, Cor-Crane Secret & a self-titled collection of singles on one LP
- Recorded in 2009 with Brian Paulson (Son Volt, Wilco, Man Sized Action).
- "In Prism ultimately sets a new standard for them: don't just make it sound like you never left, but rather make the past seem like a mere warm-up for what's to come." - Pitchfork
