Ov Pain is an experimental darkwave duo formed in 2016, comprising Renee Barrance (Élan Vital) and Tim Player (Opposite Sex). Originating from Dunedin, New Zealand, they released their self-titled debut album in 2017, recorded with producer Forbes Williams. After touring Germany, they relocated to Melbourne, Australia, becoming integral to the indie and underground live scene. Their discography includes "The Churning Blue of Noon" (2021) and "Reliquary of Dusk" (2023). Ov Pain's music blends dark electronica and neofolk, characterized by droning synthesizers and haunting vocals, drawing inspiration from artists like Coil, Hiro Kone, and Sarah Davachi.
