Comment: OCV is used to be one of my most favorite Austrian band near Radian and The Autistic Daughters. Though having released some of issues(EP`s) before it, indeed, When The Headline Hit Home is the quartet`s first proper full-length one. The title and the coverprint of the album reflects upon the arrogance of the human being, being masterfully supplemented by (omni)potent, at times exploding crescendos, densed guitar channelizations, blissful choir-backed progressions, remote echoes and endlessly perceived atmospheric plateaus. Mainly instrumental rock, though, the insertions of resigned vocal lines sometimes give it another pleasant touch. For ardent post-rock fans, anyway, the release is obligatory for you.
