Young Echo's O$VMV$M announce new album for Idle Hands

Bristol collective’s latest offshoot to land on Idle Hands.

Young Echo, the expansive Bristol collective that includes Kahn, Jabu, Killing Sound and Ishan Sound among others, has another collaborative project in its midst. This time it’s Neek, one half of Gorgonn Sound with Kahn, and Amos Childs, from Jabu and Zhou, who have formed O$VMV$M.

O$VMV$M debuted last month with a tape release on No Corner, Memoryz Ov U, that featured two sides of loop-based compositions soaked in cut-and-paste and analogue processing. This same approach is set to inform a self-titled album for the local Idle Hands label and record shop.

Speaking about the release, the label said it would be experimental while “retaining the principles of soundsystem pressure that form a backdrop to the label’s activities.”
