ostumed Italian husband and wife duo Bruno and Stefania comprise the group Ovo, and kick up an uncompromising passel of electronics-damaged, dirge-ridden experimental rock on the album MIASTENIA. Veering sharply from punishing, snail's-pace beats to gut-wrenchingly precise metallic thrash, Ovo covers a great deal of difficult sonic terrain on MIASTENIA. Stefania in particular seems to relish the strangeness of what Ovo accomplish as an ensemble, her voice ranging from a piercing Yoko Ono-esque yodel to a gravelly chant. MIASTENIA is intense music for brave listeners.|
