- One of the most popular and accomplished bands in the arty, noisy indie rock offshoot dubbed math rock, Polvo touched on many of the style's hallmarks: dissonant, intricately layered guitars that often employed alternate tunings; odd, off-kilter rhythms; an emphasis on dense sonic texture; and unorthodox song structures that, nonetheless, were often unconventionally melodic. Additionally, their music had a pronounced Eastern feel that came not only from the Indian and Middle Eastern-style drones in their compositions, but actual Asian instruments as well; that helped set them apart from other post-Sonic Youth/Slint guitar experimentalists.

- Interweaving rock, funk, and avant-garde jazz, the line-up of Artanker Convoy consists of Artanker (drums), Joe Fiorentino (bass), Chris Seeds (keyboard), Art Lavis (guitar), Jon Warren (percussion), and Jake Oas (sax). The history of the Brooklyn ensemble can be traced back to the early '90s, when Artanker had been working with future LCD Soundsystem member James Murphy in the short-lived Jinx Clambake Explosion, which Fiorentino joined just before the band broke up. With the assistance of the Social Registry, Artanker Convoy offered Mature Fantasy in early 2005 and Cozy Endings in mid-2007.
