Locals will have seen these on walls around town, everyone else should check the ‘Heavyweight Champion’ book that was put out via our Mechanical Reproductions label recently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEffectively, their visual approach is not dissimilar from the way they make music – it’s a skewed reinterpretation of the sonics they accumulate, wether video game fx, youtube rips, cassette loops, re-pitched horror soundtracks, or yes, why the hell not – cuckoo clocks, bird sounds, and gunshots.\u003cbr\u003eAnything goes in the world of O$VMV$M. Through mangled media, and with a chop \u0026amp; screw mentality, they open a portal into their very own weird world where a solemn slow dance is in sweet harmony with a smiling screwface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix years on, O$VMV$M mark the return to NoCorner for their first 12” on the label, with a six tracker entitled Weekend Saviour.\u003cbr\u003eMusically, the record traverses that noir-ish, bass-centric atmosphere of their early output with the first three cuts, before switching up into an oddball dancehall trajectory on Side B, all whilst playfully hinting at a paradoxical world where nothing can be taken too seriously and fun must be had in order to maintain some sanity.\u003cbr\u003eThe final track, ‘Codzilla Outro’ is not really an Outro as such, it feels like the start of the best film you’ve never seen – or heard. Or maybe the film was called Weekend Saviour and you’ve just watched it? Either way, the imagery is definitely strong with this music, even with eyes closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo provide more proof of how strong the connection between sound and image is with this project, we’ll mention the artwork and video process that frame the music here.\u003cbr\u003eThe video, which was created by fellow Young Echo member \/ experimental multi-media artist Jasmin Butt (aka ‘guest’ \/ singer of Jabu) uses filmed and re-projected imagery of a series of Sam Barrett’s paintings.\u003cbr\u003eThe dancing shadow figures sway around their own axis in a way that mirrors the strange mystique of the music. Retained in the brittle flicker of the 16mm film that was used to obscure, as much as represent the original forms that they capture, is the spirit of O$VMVSM’s musical approach, reflected in Jasmin’s own analogue explorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe results and offshoots of this video project then laid the foundations for the record sleeve design, and it was then decided that the gold dust of extra imagery that would otherwise have been locked away in a circular metal case somewhere, needed to be revealed in the form of a zine, to go along with the record.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned and laid out by Studio Tape-Echo along with the sleeve art, the zine documents a series of stills from the re-filming process, capturing Sam’s canvas-escaping paintings and their interactions with Jasmin’s 16mm reels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Corner","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50918829621579,"sku":"1135038","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_67b8ea56_thumbnail_4096_0b39628a-65f5-490d-aae2-b25608ebdcd5.jpg?v=1727190694","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/no-corner.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
