LISTEN: Ovlov - 'What's So Great About the City?'


Ovlov - "What Comes Next?"


Ovlov - "The City"


The years of our lives can often seem rather monotonous if we never bother to stop and reflect on them. It's important to maintain awareness of the passing days, weeks, months... if only to prevent ourselves from getting sucked up in the tornado, landing far away from where we'd hoped to be. Going with the flow of the days is just fine, but it's more rewarding, and memorable, if we take the time to acknowledge all that happens. Don't dwell; remember and recognize what has brought you here, to this moment, to this day, to this moment in time. Don't lose yourself -- and by extension time -- always looking for something bigger and better without first learning to appreciate the here and now.

With the sonic muscle of crushing, massive volume and the blare of heavy distortion -- recalling, at the very least, Dinosaur Jr. -- Ovlov coat their raw, near fuzzed-out rock 'n' roll with bright melody. And when they add hints off shoegaze radiance in songs like "The City," the music is all the more captivating.

"What Comes Next?" and "The City" are from Ovlov's latest release, What's So Great About the City?. Hear the whole thing below.
