'Siberia' is a direct descendant of Polvo's gorgeous 'In Prism,' but this time around, the band (admittedly) play to different strengths. More twisted and somber yet more loose and straightforward than on their previous 2009 LP, Polvo continually develop their post-'Shapes' sound: more grooves, longer songs, blurring the lines between prog-rock, math-rock, Eastern folk, and the blues. With both instant gems and enigmatic jam passages, so many parallels can connect these tracks and others found on earlier work such as 'Today's Active Lifestyles,' but Polvo have ultimately been refining their unique style all along.
