ALBION 16.08.2009:
"The absolute highlight of the EP is the sonically gorgeous Always. The track sounds like a mix between a medieval fair and 8-bit music from a retro video game (or perhaps even the soundtrack of an old-school video game about a medieval fairs, who knows). Try imagining emotive guitars sweeping across a dreamscape, disrupted by quirky keys jangling away in the foreground, and you won’t even be close to hearing the actual thing. Room With A View would probably be most people’s pick, with prominent vocals, cute lyrics (’We’re going away for a while, but don’t do anything to start a fire’) and a memorable melody.
Recorded, they create the most beautiful lush soundscapes, yet any fans of the Ovals may be slightly disappointed because it still doesn’t convey the same depth and denseness that the boys carry across live. If you love the Ovals recorded, chances are they’ll completely knock your socks off you ever get to see them live." -by Paige X. Cho

DRONE MAGAZINE 18.08.2009:
"They cite Pink Floyd as a major influence, but you catch a flicker of surprise in The Ovals'' expression when they speak of hearing their music being compared to that of The Doors. ''If you listen to something enough it gets ingrained in you, I guess,'' surmises vox-man Tadhg. However, the Manzarek-y keys that lace the compositions on their recently launched Innerspace EP are instantaneously predictive of this inevitable comparison.
As is to be expected, given the fondness for Floyd, the songs on Innerspace have finger strokes pulled out of the seventies - an era whose impact is not limited to its most obvious representatives. You see, The Ovals also confess a Krautrock bias and are unable to keep this a secret at any level as evidenced by the blabbermouth track title German Knights - a darkly head-boppy number interspersed with reverberating space age zaps.
Apart from the seventies sounds, The Ovals also owe a sonic debt to Radiohead, The Nice, and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Movement. While they don’t mention it, touches of Slowdive creep into the spacey Elements Outside My Control – a reverberating, vocally sparse, guitar-heavy seven minute composition with lyrics constituting less than a third of the entire track. Always, on the other hand, is strongly reminiscent of The ‘once-in-Melbourne-now-in-NY’ Morning After Girls but is punctuated by periodic laser beams. The Ovals play The Cue on the 5th of September - a few weeks after they launched Innervisions at the Birmingham Hotel. If you missed them the first time around, you should check them out. If you didn''t miss them the first time around, you probably want to give them another listen anyway, so get thee to Fitzroy." -by Radhika Takru
