Oven Sound Spain Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Whether wood-fired or injection-pressed, we prefer our 12”s straight from the oven. Spain’s Oven Sound are now on their third EP, pin-rolling and topping off an early spate of releases intended to document the emerging sounds of the label’s local Valencia scene. Taking up the A is newcomer TSO with ‘Inject’ and 2024 solo signee Sueezo with ‘Oneiric Pace'; the latter's ‘Blasphemy’ EP we also much enjoyed last year. Both tracks serve a cunning introduction, with injured acids and wily perc movements down below: it’s only improved upon by Varis’ ‘T4’, which weirdens things to stuttery, vocal-fractious proportions, while N&O’s ‘Moonwalk Talks’ is the obscurest of the lot, never settling beyond its structurally intense support of pithy drums and off-beam nanopunk bloops.
