O$VMV$M - Weekend Saviour | No Corner (NC-OS)

No Corner: ...Lowkey but pivotal Bristolian duo O$VMV$M supply No Corner with their first 12”, some 6 years after their debut ‘Memoryz Ov U’ in 2015

Part of the sprawling but loose knit Young Echo collective, Amos Childs (Jabu) and Sam Barrett (Neek) have been in the shadows recently, producing for Manonmars and Rider Shafique, but ‘Weekend Saviour’ marks their sultry return to the fray via six slow and eazy downbeats in signature style. Chopped & screwed rap instrumentals, R&B, and dancehall inform the vibe, although skewed with a lilting South Western accent and perfectly skudgy, stoned appeal that oozes from every cut, working with a paucity of ingredients in an unshowy manner that’s made them clear favourites of red eyed night owls.

The ghosts of Avon’s trip hop and heritage gloam large over proceedings, with perhaps obvious comparisons to be between Portishead and their dusty, creaking opener ’116 Greystoke,’ but there’s also something more fugged out to the likes of their dungeon bunkered title cut that’s more intimation, not imitation, as they pursue a perpendicular style of bluntedness between the slompy ‘Deathphone,’ plus the pastoral dancehall of ‘Bird Ride’ nodding to Equiknoxx, and an outstanding closer of cartoonish samples and groggy groove like a Metal Fingers meets Wiley screwball in ‘Codzilla Outro’ pointing to new angles of their sound.

Micah Heathwood, is a producer, composer and instrumentalist based in Ngunnawal/Ngambri region, Canberra, Australia.Bottle is his new double single (+ bonus track) that was originally written as only the first of the two songs. The first song was originally written with a heavy emphasis on uptempo electronic/ breaks and live jazz. Originally its sound was very band heavy and sat in the realm of modern jazz that is coming out of places such as Melbourne and London.It was changed after its first studio recording. Micah practically remixed the recording, changed the arrangement, and added much more production, making it more IDM centred and thus different from its original live takes. Subsequently the live performance of the track changed as well.Bottle 2 was an add on in the journey of production. Micah felt it was an appropriate reflection on how he also wanted the track to feel, even though the initial track had a much faster and heavier sound to it.This release also offers a bonus track of the first live recording of Bottle, which was performed at Sideway in Canberra in 2021. This live recording shows the original jazz centred origins of the track, and also gives a picture of how the track has changed overtime.Micah is excited to release these three tracks as a precursor to his debut EP which will arrive later in 2024. The bonus track will only be available on purchase of digital album or CD. credits
