OVO: ITALIAN RADICALS RELEASE APOCALYPTIC DANCE TRACK “YOU LIVING LIE” FROM UPCOMING, NINTH ALBUM, “MIASMA”; EUROPEAN TOUR BEGINS IN FEBRUARY
Best described as an apocalyptic dance track, “You Living Lie” showcases the different extremes that make up OvO’s wildly unique sound. Heavy sludge-doom rubs up against a funky, minimal, electro beat, while vocalist Stefania Pedretti terrorizes with maniacal vocals, spewed out in her native Italian.
Pre-order and pre-save Miasma HERE!
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2020 – with over 1,000 shows played, nine studio albums released, and a slew of splits and live recordings – OvO is a singular force in the underground. With a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments, founding members Stefania Pedretti and Bruno Dorella take influence from the likes of Swans and Diamanda Galas, pounding out a theatrical and harrowing mix of what Stereogum has described as “music – rhythmic noise, really – owing equal debts to extreme metal, noise rock, industrial music, and dark electronica.” Decibel has hailed the band’s sound as “a David Lynch dance party.”
OvO’s ninth album, Miasma, features guest appearances by members of Årabrot, The Soft Moon, Gnučči, and more, and sees OvO continue down its path, mixing tribalism and futurism by way of radical cross-contaminations of sounds, rhythms, and genres.
