I miss Ovlov. The shoegazy indie rock crew hasn't released much since 2021's great Buds, though they shared some demos of those tracks last year. Frontman Steve Hartlett releases solo music occasionally, and now drummer Theo Hartlett is playing guitar in Gouge Away. But today we get Mannequin Pussy covering Ovlov, which is awesome.
The cover is for Spotify Singles, and it's of the band's 2013 AM track "Where's My Dini?," a modern indie rock classic if you ask me. Here's what Mannequin Pussy said about it:
You know, I think the best way for us to approach this song is to honor a song of our peers and friends that we love so much and that we think deserves a lot more attention, and that we hope other people will fall in love with their band because of this cover. That would be our goal for it. So this is all of our, kind of, one our favorite songs, collectively. And I think we're a pretty varied band in what we listen to. And so when there's an artist that we all truly love, it's exciting for us to kind of explore getting to play that song together. And this is a beautiful song.
Listen below.
