Jim Jarmusch wasn’t the first but was close to saying it best: ‘Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.’ The culture that fuels our virtuosity is founded upon the art of theft. And this is what O$VMV$M do. This is the debut LP from Young Echo members Sam ‘Neek’ Barrett and Amos ‘Jabu & Zhou’ Childs, under their estranged cut’n’paste, analogue-fondling moniker. Only two months ago, this idiosyncratic Bristol duo had released a No Corner backed EP called Memoryz Of U. It was a practice in sonic splicing; falsifying originality by disassembling samples to their lowest denomination and refashioning them into something wholly different. Now, their eponymous album on Idle Hands consists of brief vignettes of lo-fi synth slurs and esoteric experimentalism. – Crack Magazine

O$VMV$M do one very specific thing: loops. After releasing a motley collection of tapes and EPs, where they typically lock samples into elegant slow-mo repetition, they stick to this humble remit on their follow-up EP. Despite its simplicity, O$VMV$M's straightforward sound lends itself to a surprising variety of moods, packing in abundance with the bluest after-hours Bristol vibes.
