About This Item
Today's Active Lifestyles, the second full-length by North Carolina rockers Polvo, did exactly what a sophomore LP is supposed to do It expanded the ideas put forth in the first album, gave them a new spin and shine, and presented the Inchwhere we are nowInch to the world.Produced and recorded over four heady days in December 1992 by former Bostonian and ex-Volcano Suns bassist Bob Weston (around the time he started in Shellac), Today's Active Lifestyles hit record store shelves in April 1993. From the whizzing crunch of InchThermal TreasureInch to the loping, connective InchMy KimonoInchto the 7-minute-plus blowouts InchStinger (Five Wigs)Inch and closer InchGemini Cusp,Inch the album asserted it's place as a most worthy successor to Cor-Crane Secret. The foreboding title of a particularly screechy, fuzzy jam, InchTime Isn't on My Side,Inch proved to be nonsense; Today's Active Lifestyles has aged beautifully. Album Tracks 1. Thermal Treasure 2. Lazy Comet 3. My Kimono 4. Sure Shot 5. Stinger (Five Wigs) 6. Tilebreaker 7. Shiska 8. Time Isn't on My Side 9. Action Vs. Vibe 10. Gemini Cusp
