Ovlov – “Ohmu Shell”
If “Ohmu Shell” was some kind of spiritual relative to “The Great Ohmu,” like the matching titles suggest, it would probably be the little brother: a little more eager to please, a little less penetrating. It’s another track from the Connecticut band that finds bliss in upheaval and comfort in the familiar. Ovlov spends the first half of the song in rapid-fire hook mode, and use the back half to carefully pick apart everything in a satisfying breakdown. Following Krill’s “Peanut Butter,” it’s the second song we’ve heard from the stacked Krill/Ovlov/LVL UP/Radiator Hospital split that comes out next week. Listen below.
The split comes out 10/14 via Double Double Whammy/Exploding In Sound. Preorder here.
