On first blush, Buds won't shock longtime Ovlov fans, but on repeat listens, those fuzzy, crushing guitars start to feel less like the central focus and more of a delivery system for Hartlett's grander ambitions. \"For the past few years, the number of rock bands I've been listening to has grown smaller and smaller,\" says Hartlett. \"Unfortunately, it's the only genre and style I've ever really felt comfortable writing. That's probably mostly because I write everything on a guitar. Don't get me wrong, I love rock music--there's nothing more satisfying than playing an E chord through a Big muff as loud as the amp will go--I just want to slowly progress into writing the most perfectly poppy of pop songs.\" Buds is dense and dark, but Hartlett's assertion is dead-on: these are just big, bold pop songs. It's still Ovlov, but a more assured version, one that isn't so shy about putting their ambitions on full display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exploding In Sound Records","offers":[{"title":"Green LP","offer_id":50434048885067,"sku":"2167520","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_d664d2ec_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726885289"},{"product_id":"tru-2","title":"TRU","description":"\u003cp\u003eCompared to its 2013 predecessor, \u003cem\u003eAm\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTRU\u003c\/em\u003e is less late-'80s Dino Jr., more early-'90s Sebadoh: While Ovlov are still as wonderfully wooly ever, they're unleashing the noise in more purposeful, sculpted spurts and displaying a greater willingness to let their melodies sparkle through the clouds of distortion. Tuneful, feedback-slathered surges like \"Half Way Fine\" and \"Spright\" feel as comfortable as a beaten-up pair of Chuck Taylors, introducing dramatic dynamic shifts and savvy melodic change-ups to keep you on your toes. You may not always be able to make out Hartlett's lyrics amid the cyclonic fuzz, but the despondence and disillusionment in his voice always cut through loud and clear. And when he can't quite find the right words, he and fellow guitarist Morgan Luzzi unleash that simmering angst through nonverbal means, like the roiling guitar tsunami that brings the hazy-headed \"Baby Alligator\" to a cataclysmic close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exploding In Sound Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Blue","offer_id":50441771385163,"sku":"2167521","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Brown","offer_id":51308981289291,"sku":"R7559-6419","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Red Ripple","offer_id":56938678583627,"sku":"R7559-6277","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_6a641c8a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726986713"},{"product_id":"buds","title":"Buds","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the course of twelve years, a litany of splits and EPs, two full lengths, and even a couple break-ups, Northeastern fuzz-rock heroes Ovlov have earned a loyal cult following - all while staunchly following their own path at every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, the band has returned with their third full length, \u003ci\u003eBuds\u003c\/i\u003e, an album three years in the making that nd the band deftly maintaining their endearingly steadfast identity while also reckoning with the inevitability of change.
