I\u2019m heading up to Eau Claire this weekend for the annual Bon Iver Wisconsin Hangout Fest<\/a>. While I\u2019m thrilled to have the chance to see [buzz band, name redacted] and [legendary songwriter, name redacted] play a collaborative set at Eaux Claires, I also think it\u2019s possible I\u2019ll spend much of the fest alone with my iPod in the woods, listening to the new RP Boo album that\u2019s coming out on Friday. It\u2019s all about the new releases, my friends!<\/span>\n

Ovlov: \u201cStick\u201d<\/h3>\n

Ovlov is back together, and if you didn\u2019t know who they were or that they were broken up in the first place, honestly you\u2019d be in about the same boat I was when I heard \u201cStick\u201d for the first time a few days ago. Well, sometimes it pays to get the band back together in order to make fans of the dopes who never got around to you earlier. \u201cStick\u201d feels melancholy, taffy-stretched to the breaking point, and draped in guitar fuzz. Like last week\u2019s Ariana Grande track<\/a>, it shifts between feeling pretty quick and very slow, all the while maintaining tempo. It\u2019s hard to stick out as a band making \u201990s-inspired guitar pop in the late 2010s, but Ovlov definitely pulls it off with this song.<\/p>\n
