  • Several weeks after announcing his return as Oval, Markus Popp has revealed details for his next full-length, simply entitled O. The album is not to be confused with Oh, Oval's upcoming 15-track EP, due for release in June. Despite their overtly avant-garde titles–not to mention their whopping tracklists–both records supposedly show a less cerebral side of Popp, emphasizing fundamentals like "scales, harmonics and melody... instead of theory and meta-discourse." O will be available as a double CD and a double LP, though both have slightly different tracklists: on the vinyl release, Disc 1 of the CD is spread across the first three sides, while the fourth will feature six exclusive bonus tracks. To make up the difference, the LP will come with a download coupon that includes the entire CD release. To get an idea of what O holds in store, check out this stream of "Ah!", the second tune on the album:
