You know, it's pretty interesting; I'm not really too into either song just yet. But as mentioned, they are just brief samples.

I didn't like Beggar's Bowl too much when it was sent out, but that grew on me. I'm sure these songs, or at least Anchoress, surely will.

Rappard: Please share that taping with us!

Of course! Did I ever sendspace my 12/16/09 recording?

I don't recall you posting it, but I'd love to hear it if you still have it!

~Jeremy~

Can't wait. I love polvo.

"I make it hard for you, don't I?"

Great band.

Merge is streaming Heavy Detour here: http://www.mergerecords.com/blog/201...h-out-july-26/

I like the song way better already. If you pre-order it, they said they will send you the demo of Anchoress, still haven't found that one just yet though.

I really can't get into Polvo, I don't get the appeal (I think they sound like the "cliché" Sonic Youth-inspired band with their harmonics and all that). EDIT: and I usally love harmonics but in Polvo I don't enjoy it.

you really don't like the CELEBRATE THE NEW DARK AGE ep, at least? I probably couldn't live without that opening track in my life.. so good.

I haven't listened to it (I think I mainly listened to Today's Active Lifestyles and Shapes as they seem to be favourites here), I'll check it out (samples on allmusicguide seem to be more "up my alley" indeed :))

OHH... SHAPES is definitely not a favorite. Heheheh.

Today's... is though, so hm.

They're a cool band but I could see someone not getting into them. But that ep I mentioned is what really made me appreciate how multilayered/complex their sound is.

Polvo don't really sound much like Sonic Youth to me, or at least, they don't sound as much as I figured they would be after all the comparisons.

Never dug Shapes. Love everything else. I don't think stylistically there's much of a SY connection, it's the "out" guitar playing that keeps my interest. They could be instrumental for all I care and I'd like them as much.

It's harder to find the immediate appeal of Polvo than a lot of other, similar bands. The stuff that gets stuck in my head are the bizarre riffs, and it takes my brain a few hours to process - like the next day I'll start humming a tune that at the time didn't stick. Bizarre.

So a guy is seeding a 2011 show on dimeadozen and the new stuff sounds great. In particular, there's an 8 minute Ash song which I think will go down as one of their best songs ever.

They also brought Leaf back of all songs and now Lazy Comet sounds completely different, for better or worse.

So excited for this record.

~Jeremy~

Can you put it somewhere besides Dime? If you have the time, that would make my week. I've actually heard that new eight minute Ash Bowie song; I thought the same thing as you stated. POLVO is in fine form

I love everything they've done, even Shapes(love it). I think that Exploded Drawing would have been way better if Bob Weston didn't record it. It sounds muddy, and not twangy enough for POLVO. If you listen to 1996 bootlegs, they catabolize the record. Tis still excellent though.

Uploading my recording now, should be done in 2 hours (1 GB zip). Will then update this post with the link.

Update: http://wtrns.fr/J6j8ZAy9Nk3RoE. Have at it!

Holy shit that was you who uploaded it rappard. Thanks a lot for recording it! It's a great show.

If for whatever reason aliens invade his house and kidnap him before it's done, I'll upload it for your barrett. By the way, I want to know what 1996 bootlegs you're listening to; I've found very little from that timeframe. ;)

word

what's with the string accompaniment??

New Polvo this fall
 

Man, I thought I found a new cool puzzle. Oh well, I am still hoping to get some other pictures to find out for sure what this puzzle is. Probably after Christmas. I will let you know if I find out anything else. I havent received any replies lately to my questions so who knows.

I have one from my home town of Cincinnati, OH. Their van broke down in Indianapolis so the didn't start until well after midnight. They made up for it very much so.
I have a few others. I'm busy right now, but soon I'll work out something to send you every show I got though. I have at least twenty shows total.
That new one from: rappard is indeed fucking amazing, they were fucking on point that night.
