Ov Pain has been played on NTS shows including Great Southern Lands w/ James W, with Kauri Island IV first played on 10 May 2022.

Ov Pain are a cold wave duo from Dunedin, New Zealand featuring Renee Barrance and Tim Player. Ov Pain mixes ice-cold synth and keyboards with minimalistic percussion and dramatic vocals. Expect bare-boned arrangements and frosty electronics, and a dash of gothic punk atmospherics too. Ov Pain features flickers of Joy Division’s bassy baritone gloom, and glimpses of Suicide’s skeletal silhouette, and there’s a hypnotic Krautpop tempo that calls to mind the debut EP from Dunedin legends Snapper as well.
