maryll What a record! Every track a noisy gem!
Favorite track: Stick

Mike Stewart I walked into the Mothlight in Asheville, NC and was floored by the songs coming one-by-one. That raw guitar vibrating my soul like a sonic drone strike into my aural cavity. We were waiting to see the Appleseed Cast play. I asked my partner, what was this glorious band that was playing. She didn't know either. Shazaam! We discovered Ovlov and now we are in love with this band. Thank you Mothlight and thank you Ovlov. Favorite track: Baby Alligator.

Edmar Vazquez Best thing I've heard in a while. Am in love with this album! Favorite track: Short Morgan.

Track Name: Baby Alligator: near, far, wherever you are
steer car; drive it through the bar
year star; burnt out blue scar
carved it into tar
large-grained sand

lean on quick sand
got my old ride's kickstand
slow mind's often kind
mock my old time wheel's name

start fires; burn my old tires
clean shave; seats we cannot save
ears are blind; i don't hear behind
speak 'til you find
large wastelands
Track Name: Half Way Fine: half way fine; call it feline
saw your thunder lightening spear my
could blame minds on our weak ends
small and under all my meek friends
but i'll try to fix my

and then you push me down through
all the little fine blue cheesy wine

and then you stalk your ceiling trying to be what you want to
and then you talk in your sleep and you ask, "why would he ever want to?"
now you walk through hell on your own; try and steal what you want to
hide the meal that haunts you through

wash my head on my own time
not even to seem like your slime
often, I swallow heat waves
bottle up, control my sleek shaves
and i'll try to fix my
Track Name: The Best Of You: wishing you had time to get out and see my chance to learn how
you crumble at the sight of your favorite person's shadow
stumble on our grains of sand
all your secret wishes start to stay tru
be your best to all you can
everyone you know won't be forever
Track Name: Spright: eat well, feel well
try on neon
feel another way and i run for better days
treat my old kind decent when they fall into a bitter way
will you listen when they say?

in a hardened pain you lie, and cry, and i will try to find a different way home

see my old ride
go far and take time
to prove you went away
and you lose your head to say:
"maybe we can force my weight inside to peel a second time,
like a moldy lemon-lime."
Track Name: Stick: i struggle by your side
insisting you to try
another way to see
blinking eyes swell to the ground
i follow all the ways
your argument displays
shallow in the way
you weaken my selfish shame

feed my fish food
read when it's rude
and sing while the main style is hot with the teen kyle and ride on the waves of the youth

i wanted you to say
something about the way
the hollow sound you make
but your sinking eyes fell to the ground
you call me on a phone
if you're ever left alone
and laugh at the thoughts
i sing to try and sell my shame
Track Name: Tru Punk: drive a special way
roll around in two
wallow in your weight like you always do
line 'em up, lay 'em down straight into
listen up; write it down
jog it through your head 'til it's watered down
this is all you said in a vacant sound:
"write 'em off, turn it on, straighten through"
this is how life will go
blatant cruel mornings taunt me

wash away the smell that you left behind
death won't leave my town and it's settled down
rack 'em up, write it down, pay your dues
grow apart, lay in two
fish in soggy ponds wait around for you
wishing for a hook to bite onto
and evolve all to solve failed you
take it down, change it's sound straight into
straighten through
lay in two
Track Name: Fast G: my sweet side sleeps on a wall
well i wish i could hear when you call

try to teach time's speed when you fall down
well our speech was in introverted sounds
step aside while the trees paint leaves around
deep down, you feel it now

big fish swims around through the day
well i wish i could hear what they say

we ride by waves that you ought to try
be strong, settle down, be my ocean guide
cheap sands never felt my emotions pry
deep down, you feel it now
Track Name: Short Morgan: i fire one off and wait
alone my mind often races on 'til you say
that you want me to decide my own fate
but if it's left up to me i don't see
why not try to find
a friend to wait along with me to ride?
cause alone it feels so pointless
don't confess
don't stress out on me

you talk a lot for free with no shame
and waste it all on me who won't care
but if this is how you feel then go say
it all to someone real who wants to
play along with you
while you whine
alone you're feeling fine
and your bones, they hold on to the weight
older fate
i could wait
but you don't ask
Track Name: Grab It From The Garden: melt you; please your fool around for now
feel your head begin to round around
me and you with notes you found that you
try on; maybe one will fit and match too

grab it from the garden
all tastes good too
tubes around the trees to hide vegetables like me and you,
you see?

green stalks; chalk to fill you in
you're too thin
see-saw; up and down your days you spend
i'm more than you bargained for
a cheap sore
no one spends it on the world you've shown

overdo your acting
why shed those tears?
feel the garden's over stocked
open up your store and sell some more
