Polvo

Polvo
Polvo were a critically acclaimed and widely influential rock band from Chapel Hill, NC, during the 1990s. The band was fronted by vocalists/guitarists Ash Bowie and Dave Brylawski.

Celebrate the New Dark Age, Polvo’s guitar-twisting seven-song EP is a Merge hallmark; originally released in 1994 and considered their best output in some circles.  Now reissued on 180 gm vinyl Celebrate the New Dark Age is remastered for vinyl aficionados by Bob Weston and comes complete with a great letterpress sleeve designed and printed by Bruce Licher, whose Independent Project Press designed the original, long-out-of-print triple 7” release.

Celebrate the New Dark Age, indeed.  Years ahead of their time, Polvo’s sound is nothing short of awe inspiring and remains timeless to this day.
