| Released in a limited edition of 500 copies, this split 7" EP features 2 tracks of heavy noise-punk from Italian duo Ovo and 8 tracks of harsh improvised yowl from Cock E.S.P. Ovo's songs are crushing, Melvins-gone-No Wave jams with pounding drumming and zonked guitar action, and crazed vocals from singer Stefania Pedretti, moving from cutsey child-like whispers to banshee wails to brutal death metal roars. Pretty badical, we can't wait for their upcoming full length on Load later in 2006. The B-side has Cock E.S.P.'s Emil Hagstrom and vocalist Elyse Perez whipping up a shitstorm of improvised clatter, piercing electronic noise, and ranting childlike vocal spew that feels like a hyperactive kid is pogo bouncing off of your head. In heavy cardstock EP sleeve. |
