Polvo are an influential indie noise rock band of the 1990s from Chapel
Hill, North Carolina, USA. The band was fronted by vocalist/guitarist Ash
Bowie and guitarist Dave Brylawski. Eddie Watkins played drums, and Steve
Popson played bass guitar.
Polvo are considered one of the key proponents of a genre which came to be
known as math rock. Their sound was defined by complex and dissonant guitar
harmonies and driving rhythm, complementing Bowie's cryptic, often
surrealist lyrics. So unpredictable and angular was their sound that the
band's guitarists were often accused of failing to play with
correctly-tuned guitars. Polvo's songs and artwork frequently featured
Asian/"exotic" themes and references. The band's name means "dust" in
Spanish; in Spain it also is a slang word for sex.
