“Moving along similar lines as Gastr Del Sol are Polvere, a duo from Italy, with Mattia Coletti on acoustic and electric guitars, drums, percussion and voice and Xabier Iriondo on ukulelem taisho koto, zither, old '20 Japanese records and electronic treatments. They had some releases on Wallace Records. Their music is made through improvisation and is throughout minimal. They start strumming their strings and play probably with hand and feet to get all the sounds going. The six tracks where recorded following a tour in Japan and there are traces of Eastern tunings in the music. Intimate playing that sounds improvised, folk-like and even good old DDAA comes back to mind. It combines drone music along with musique concrete, tying post rock in. Great small music.” – Vital Week
