Polvo back with a new albums soon???!!!! - Page 2

Jeremy · 04.29.2009, 04:39 AM

Sorry to bump this semi-old thread, but according to David Brylawski in a recent interview with Mark Prindle, Brian Paulson (Who produced Spiderland) is producing their new record. Full quote:

"Does the new album transcend '90s indie rock? Yes. I would like to think so. Yeah, that's a good question! I don't think our new album sounds like '90s indie rock. It's hard to say what it is now. I haven't really listened to it enough. But I just think it's really cohesive, and we've been able to harness something that we weren't able to harness ten years ago. Power. Hopefully. I mean, I'm not trying to be self-aggrandizing here.
Okay. I hope that comes through in the recording. I guess it should come through in the recording. We're far enough now -
It's really good. Brian Paulson did it. He did "Spiderland." The shit sounds good."

This record should be great. Only has I believe nine songs and eight of them are apparently really long according to David.

Yeah, I bet it'll probably sound exactly like Black Taj too. Greedrex, be thrilled! Haha.

atsonicpark · 04.29.2009, 04:42 AM

Also, did anyone know Six Finger Satellite was back and have a new album? It's on Load, which is funny, since nearly every Load band ripped off Six Finger Satellite. Strangely, they're one of my all time favorite bands (well, in the top 500 definitely!), and yet I have no interest in hearing it. All these reforming bands... man...

anyway, the Polvo disc should be fun. I'd rather listen to Mark Prindle's "smilehouse" again though.

ZEROpumpkins · 04.29.2009, 04:58 AM

I'm glad someone else agrees with me on Shapes. First song is cool, the rest are like "huh?"

I couldn't believe the inconsistency of that album, as if it was a fuckin joke or something.

atsonicpark · 04.29.2009, 05:06 AM

It's them trying to be a rock band. It's embarassing. Hated the Hendrix posturing on that one song. The first song is good as are moments on the really long song. The rest sounds half-written and shitty.

erm. You made me discover Black Taj and huh i wasn't exactly thrilled with these records at all, they bored me. But Black Taj is sans Ash , so expectations are still pretty high. I really liked Shapes unlike lots of you here.
Brian Paulson? Fuck yeah.

I actually thought it was meant to be the total opposite of that. Not one song on there even sounds like they were trying to make a proper song, just fucking about, and not in a good way. Aside from Enemy Insects, the rest of the songs play out like the bad songs on Exploded Drawing (which, IMO, is Polvo's masterpiece)

atsonicpark · 04.29.2009, 05:14 AM

Yeah, it's got all these posteured rock moves and then random moments where they throw in instruments they don't know how to play. Just a bland album from every angle.

ZEROpumpkins · 04.29.2009, 05:15 AM

What's that banjo-like instrument that pops up on Shapes and Exploded Drawing? It's mostly heard in the short interlude-type tracks.

atsonicpark · 04.29.2009, 05:17 AM

a sitar?!

ZEROpumpkins · 04.29.2009, 05:21 AM

It's not twangy enough

ricechex · 04.29.2009, 10:20 AM

I like Shapes. Sure, it's uneven but its got more than Enemy Insects on it. I hear the classic rock in places, which is weird, but i like the album as a whole.

I'm real excited to hear something new. I have the live thing they did and liked the 2 or 3 new songs i heard.

the ikara cult · 04.29.2009, 05:44 PM

Shapes is pretty good, the quiet songs on it are dead good. The really long one is dead pretty. It does sound like half an amazing album, but thats still more than enough for me.

Kuwa_Slayne · 04.29.2009, 05:58 PM

Really looking forward to some new Polvo despite my dislike for "Shapes". I've tried listening to it recently and I think I dislike even more than when it was released--it just seems like they took a few steps back. While Libraness (solo Ash) is a bit uneven I prefer it to "Shapes" any day.

Jeremy · 06.06.2009, 07:02 PM

Sorry to bump again, but figured it would be better than just posting a new topic:

They (re)signed to Merge and their new record titled "In Prism" will come out in September. A glorious birthday month for me!

Between Farm, The Eternal, There Is No Enemy, PJ's new record, and this, I'm pretty excited. Lots of great stuff coming out this year.

~Jeremy~

[Sandbag] · 06.06.2009, 08:12 PM

fuck yeah!

Jeremy · 06.06.2009, 09:27 PM

In Prism track listing:
1. Right the Relation
2. D.C. Trails
3. Beggar’s Bowl
4. City Birds
5. Lucia
6. Dream residue/Work
7. The Pedlar
8. A Thousand Waves

Interesting titles there, my favorite is "A Thousand Waves". Again, according to Dave all except one go long, so potentially it could be a long record (Like Perfect From Now On for the new millennium).

Now please leak!

~Jeremy~

ZEROpumpkins · 06.06.2009, 10:40 PM

Holy shit new Polvo is sooner than I thought

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.07.2009, 04:03 AM

That's a good new, damn, it makes my day !!!

Concerning Shapes, well, it's not that bad, there're few amazing songs (not as good as Today's and Exploded ones though), but it really sounds like their swansong... And the cover is awful. But it's the 1st Polvo album I bought, I can't dislike it.

greedrex · 06.07.2009, 06:22 AM

nice nice
i will check it out before buying though....
