[Ex:El]

After the 1999 breakup of electronic-shoegaze melders Antarctica, members Chris Donohue & Glenn Maryansky found themselves with a new vision. In a matter of days, they locked themselves in the studio with unofficial Antarctica "sixth member" Steve Depalo. The result: coldwave synths & sparse, delayed guitars weaved through lush electronic pockets of sound. National Skyline guitarist James Minor is added to the lineup, and now 3 years of electronic and pop experimentation come to light.

ova looven's forthcoming 58:34 album can easily be seen as the "next step" after Antarctica, focusing on electronics and songcraft with hypnotic repetition and dance-floor rhythms. Due to manufacturing delays, 58:34, which will be released on the band's own Artikal label, will not be available until early March. Stay tuned.
