Description
I would like to think that the songs on this album are all pop songs at the core, says Steve Hartlett, the bands songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist. On first blush, Buds wont 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 Hartletts grander ambitions. For the past few years, the number of rock bands Ive been listening to has grown smaller and smaller, says Hartlett. Unfortunately, its the only genre and style Ive ever really felt comfortable writing. Thats probably mostly because I write everything on a guitar. Dont get me wrong, I love rock musictheres nothing more satisfying than playing an E chord through a Big muff as loud as the amp will goI just want to slowly progress into writing the most perfectly poppy of pop songs. Buds is dense and dark, but Hartletts assertion is dead-on: these are just big, bold pop songs. Its still Ovlov, but a more assured version, one that isnt so shy about putting their ambitions on full display.
