Exploded Drawing by Polvo is a final work of brilliance that showcases the band's trademark guitar work, with drums and bass taking prominence at times. The album is heavier than any other Polvo release and features Middle Eastern intermissions that hold together the proper songs. The album is spellbindingly great and should be put in a rocket or time capsule as the ultimate proof that indie rock could reach perfection. The band reformed in 2008 to release two more amazing albums that pick up where Exploded Drawing left off.
# Math rock
Polvo's unique sound, influenced by Sonic Youth's guitar investigations, is characterized by alternative tunings, Beefheart-ish looseness, pretty hooks, and air-moving heaviness. Their debut album, Cor-Crane Secret, is a powerful, heartfelt, and progressively experimental example of indie rock's natural impulse to shut out the rest of the world and follow whatever feels right. This record is essential for any indie rock, noise rock, post-hardcore, or math rock fan.
U.S. Maple - это группа, которая не вписывается ни в один жанр. Они берут элементы из разных жанров, таких как нойз-рок, мат-рок и шеллаккор, и создают свою уникальную минималистичную музыку. Альбом Talker - это первый альбом группы на Drag City, который не наскучивает и оставляет впечатление. Фронтмен группы, Эл Джонсон, имеет харизматичный эмоциональный вокал с налетом скупой и прижимистой мужской истерики. U.S. Maple - это клондайк такого рода музыки.
NoMeansNo's 'Wrong' is a heady and intensely angry album that packs a mighty dose of charm and magnetism. The album is heavy, hooky, and tied to no single tempo, with a hint of prog-rock. Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles recognized the band’s potential early on, as the label did with many other prescient wunderkinds of post hardcore.
