 Polvo are Polvo and... damn, there’s nothing to do about it, they are crooked, wonderfully crooked, a living anomaly, slovenly indie rock disguised as math-core or math-core disguised as slovenly indie rock; in the end, it doesn’t matter because they gave it their all with a personality that was at the very least unique, resembling no one else, and that is something not everyone can do either.
