Ovlov Am LP (Purple-Inside-Clear-Galaxy Vinyl)

Since 2009, Ovlov's transmissions have been sporadic, but they've always been impactful. The band's early run of EPs established the Connecticut four-piece as a modern update on a certain strain of northeastern indie-rock. By the time the band's debut album Am was released in 2013, Ovlov was getting comparisons to Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh tossed in their direction, and while those elements were certainly present in their sound, Ovlov always let catchy pop hooks slip into the mix too. Over the years, Am has increasingly been regarded as a modern alternative rock masterpiece, inspiring a new generation of bands as it continues to fly off the shelves.
