Melbourne act The Ovals take their cues from Pink Floyd and Ash Ra Tempel
Melbourne act The Ovals take their cues from Pink Floyd and Ash Ra Tempel, which is a rare thing in the contemporary music landscape. Better still, they make the psychedelic sound fresh and compelling, magically side-stepping the po-faced seventies hilarity of the genre. Into the Eyes of Those Who Sleep is an intense, finely crafted epic with a hypnotic vocal and a swathe of sci-fi synth sounds – a curious tune that evokes Blade Runner and Close Encounters without sounding retro. Really interesting.
