Polvo's 'Channel Changer' is a great moment from the Nineties guitar surrealists' new vinyl reissues
. Even compared to math-rock peers like Slint or Rodan, these guys were uniquely inventive in their pursuit of opaque epiphany, filling their albums with music that was excitingly wide-open, more shapeshifting than sharp-edged, refusing to stay in focus even when the band was rocking out. The reissues look fantastic , and they sound great.
As bands who didn’t care about normal song-form went, Polvo made Seam like look Superchunk. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t wander their way into a tuneful banger now and again. Take “Channel Changer,” from. It’s a love song, albeit a strange one.
Polvo wound down in the late Nineties, but they got back together for 2009’s excellent, somewhat heavierrecords which brought out a languid Southern choogle that always played around under the shifting surface of their sound. These new reissues are a great excuse to go back and channel-surf through their whole catalog.
