Polvo are considered by some to be one of the key proponents of a genre which came to be known as math rock, although in interviews the band disavowed that categorization. Their sound was defined by complex and dissonant guitar harmonies and driving rhythm, complementing cryptic, often surrealist lyrics. Their sound was so unpredictable and angular 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.

I wonder why My Kimono is the most listened track... I mean, I think it's great and all, but I feel like it's just the song between lazy comet and sure shot when I listen to the album.

I've listened to Exploded Drawing a couple of times now... I like the guitars, but the singer kinda ruins it for me.
