Polvo Returns With All the Answers on 'In Prism'new
If you only ever hear one Polvo song, make it eight-minute In Prism centerpiece "Lucia." Haunting and elegant at the start, it takes a hair-pin tempo turn around the 2:20 mark and -- voilà -- it's damn near the best foot-to-the-pedal drive song ever.
