Polvo - Cor-Crane Secret (1992)

Cor-Crane Secret is Polvo's 1992 debut album. These guys are considered pioneers of math-rock, but I'm not sure this album completely demonstrates that. Mostly, the record sounds like gritty noise pop somewhere in between Sonic Youth and early Dinosaur Jr - notably in the song "Can I Ride?". Certainly this is Polvo's best effort and most popular release. The influence of Cor-Crane Secret is very apparent in the mid-90s indie and emo scene with bands like Joan of Arc or Cursive and their Saddle Creek Records contemporaries. The difference is less whining and more psychotic noise, innovative texture, and unconventional guitar tunings. Truly a classic.
