Formed in Chapel Hill, NC ~ in 1990 ~ POLVO originally signed with Merge Records and defined the math rock genre. With their surrealist lyrics, dissonant guitar harmonies and their driving rhythms, they were critically acclaimed from the get.go despite the accusations of performing under the influence of failing to tune their instruments properly.

Since disbanding in 1998, Polvo reunited for the 2008 Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona; they resigned with Merge, entered the Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC in March and plan to release their first album in over a decade on September, 8th.
