IN-STORE: Nedelle Torrisi TONIGHT @ 7 PM!!

Come hang out with this cheeky chick TONIGHT in the OV Loft!!

Nedelle Torrisi has a voice for the ages, she is all heart and no gimmicks. What a relief in a world full of fake and processed everything. Her new album, Advice from Paradise, released on Drag City, is timeless modern pop. It was produced by Haunted Graffiti whiz kid Kenny Gilmore.

This beauty is not only a talented musician that has worked with the likes of Ariel Pink, but she also spends her spare time giving actual advice to Los Angelinos and others, and if we can say so, its always quite witty. And as much as we love her Advice column here at OV, we love her music even more.

Give Nedelle a listen, she may just change your outlook on life. TONIGHT. 7 PM. OV LOFT.

Cold Specks @ The Echo!

Like an off-label industrial process or cult ritual conducted in the dead of night, an artery flowing open in spurts or a complex society on the verge of collapse, Cold Specks' Neuroplasticity is both terrifying and morbidly enthralling to witness. Having returned after two years and a world map of tours following 2012's I Predict a Graceful Expulsion, tonight's the night to see 26 year-old Canadian singer under the sobriquet Al Spx rare talent and depth of feeling live on stage as the Echo. Breathlessly described and received overseas, Cold Specks are looking to conquer American airwaves and we fully expect them to begin their ascension tonight at The Echo!

Celestial Shore In-Store @ 6:30PM!

Celestial Shore is finally making the trek from Brooklyn to the West Coast, and oh boy, and we glad to have them at OV! This bare bones, no frills band really knows how to rock. You can dance to it, or just jam to it, but either way this band is going to wiggle their way into your heart and your Fall Playlist. Their recently released album Enter Ghost, released on Hometapes, is direct and confrontational, just how we like 'em. So catch them while they are exploring the West Coast, before NYC calls them home! The show gets started at 6:30, which may be confusing for OV regulars, but we know you can manage it!

Friday, November 21st
Morgan Delt @ The Echo!

Awwww yeah. We love seeing OV faves live, and in the case of Morgan Delt, we've been waiting a while. Progenitors of one of our favorite psych records of the year, Morgan Delt's self-titled goes down rabbit holes with glee, trending upwards, inwards and outwards all at once. It's a super heady album that never manages to be overwrought, sending out waves of psych distortion that remind us of the better part of L.A heat waves. As one of OV's own put it: "Frantic, unrelenting and slightly unhinged, this record blares and blinks at you like one big psychedelic carnival. Don't be afraid to get lost." However, you should be afraid on missing out on this show, so you better get ready quick for tonight's show at The Echo!


Now that we've planned your week, make sure to get more than 7 hours of sleep a night! It's really necessary to healthy living!!

SFV Acid In-Store @ 7PM! Sub Pop Postal Service Screening!

OV's got you covered all day long with an SFV Acid in-store and a Postal Service screening in Burbank!

Zane Reynolds, of SFV Acid, is well known for his funky, mixed electronic beats, and he is bringing a little of his unique vibe into OV! Better yet, a customized MPC will be auctioned off at the event. This MPC has been displayed in store all week but will also be viewable tonight. BUT WAIT! There's more! SFV Acid is not only stopping by for a performance and bringing prizes, but is also potentially showing up with some food trucks and ice-cream!

The funds from this project from will go to support Young Producers Group in their attempt to teach students across Los Angeles the art of production and electronic music. Founder Lawrence Grey has made it a mission to provide classes and education to students through after school and in school programs throughout the LA county. We admire his passion for the genre, and we feel that he is the perfect candidate for the project. He is constantly looking for funding for studio rentals and new equipment for the students. Feel free to learn more about his work here.



After SFV Acid, check out Sub Pop's one-night-only screening of The Postal Service’s "Everything Will Change" documentary concert film and our own Sub Pop themed pop-up shop at the Town Center 6 theatre in Burbank! In case you haven't heard, "Everyhting Will Change" is The Postal Service's feature-length documentary concert film of their performances at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA, captured over two nights (July 26th & 27th, 2013) during their reunion tour. Filmed with super expensive cameras and featuring amazing live material, "Everything Will Change" looks to be an amazing look back on the life of Postal Service and hope you can join us in support of Sub Pop at the one-night only event!

Single Mothers In-Store @ 7PM! Psychedelic Furs + The Lemonheads @ Fonda Theatre!

Single Mothers broke up in 2009, and have been playing together ever since. Their drunk, scab-peeling punk combined with shout-out lyrics makes them a real crowd pleaser. And believe us, this band isn't afraid to talk about anything. Single Mothers is raw, gritty, OG punk. Two minute punk masterpieces, just like it should be.

After years of internal conflict, the band has finally completed their debut album Negative Qualities on HXC Recordings and Dine Alone. Lyrical topics include: asshole drunks, hypocrites, god, snobs, and more. Single Mothers hasn't forgotten to make a comment on anything controversial here, and definitely isn't concerned with PC dinner conversation topics. You need to be at OV for this one.



After Single Mothers at OV, join us for a crazy good double bill at the Fonda: The Psychedelic Furs & The Lemonheads! 80s and 90s veterans, these two acts are tough to find apart, but even more so with a double bill like this one! If you were to dissect the alternative rock dominating todays music, youll find that much of it pays homage to The Psychedelic Furs. Led by vocalist and songwriter Richard Butler, and his bass-wielding brother Tim, the Furs won over fans and critics alike by combining poetic lyrics, innovative rhythms and melodies driven by an aggressive, punk desperation. The Lemonheads have also had a major impact on indie music as we know it, beginning as a 80s punk band and growing to a college rock mainstay throughout the 90s with hits like "Mrs. Robinson" and "It's A Shame About Ray". Now together on the same stage at the Fonda, we're super stoked to see these two legendary bands on stage at once! Catch us at the Fonda at 9PM!






Now that we've planned your week, you better search your wardrobe for that perfect pink boa. We're expecting you to get dressed up for Tuesday y'know.

NATIONAL ARIEL PINK MONTH: pom pom Madness Begins!

With the thankful season upon us, we're celebrating how grateful we are for the psycho-genius mind of Ariel Pink by presenting a cornucopia of exclusive events in advance of his new album pom pom!  (Preorder is right on over here.) 

Featuring more fun than you can shake half a wishbone at, we've got a full plate of Ariel Pink awesome starting THIS WEEK at OV!

Firstly, we're getting the Ariel Pink party started with an exclusive peek into pom pom Tuesday at El Prado! As part of RCLA, we'll be premiering his new album before anyone else! Across its 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom is unfiltered Ariel Pink, featuring infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. The record sees the Los Angeles native strike it out alone, returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade. It's a brand new (or is it?) version of Ariel and we're so stoked to hear it all for the first time! To make things even sweeter, we've got some special treats to enjoy while the record spins at El Prado. First up, we'll have a super limited-edition cassette on hand for those of y'all who gotta have Ariel in your '95 Camry and also Ariel Pink themed donuts courtesy of Donut Friend! Can you guess what color those donuts will be? We're stumped. The party gets started at 9PM and goes until everyone collapses in a Donut/Drink/Ariel Pink™ coma. It's gonna be awesome!

But seriously...we have cassettes!! Record Club. Cassettes. You dig?



Then, on Saturday, we're giving you the opportunity to live out your rockstar fantasies with an afternoon of Ariel Pink themed limo rides! Ride in style in our pink stretch job and enjoy LA's finest sites with pom pom on the system! Make sure to let all your haters know where they can see you and take Saturday off to prove to the world you've truly made it. RSVPs are required for entry but do not guarantee a ride, so you better show up early if you wanna cruise with AP & pom pom!

<<<RSVP here>>>



And then to top it all off, Monday 11/17, we're gonna be having a wild 'n' out pizza party in the shop featuring ARIEL PINK BRANDED PIZZAS courtesy of Two Boots! Which is literally the best collectible item we can think of and we expect to see these suckers go for thousands in 2024. Alongside pizza, we'll also have the embodiment of pinkness in the shop when L.A celeb and notorious Corvette driver Angelyne drops by from 5-8PM. So to recap, that's Ariel Pink, drinks + pizzas, and a 1980s Barbie doll look alike all breathing the same OV air. Plus music and special guests to make things even sweeter. It's gonna be pure bacchanalian madness, and by golly WE'RE PUMPED. You better make it here dude, this is gonna be a thing you tell your grandkids about.

NEW OV RELEASE: Ariel Pink, Crooked Cowboy & Neil Schuh "Cloak & Dagger" 7"!! (on transparent orange vinyl)

TODAY!  We’re psyched to add LA homies, Ariel Pink, Crooked Cowboy and Neil Schuh to the Origami Vinyl family!  "Cloak & Dagger" is the trio's collaborative 7" and Origami Vinyl's sixth release.

We’re talkin’ a super limited, one-time pressing of 500 copies on transparent orange vinyl!!  These will go quickly so cop one while ya can.

"Cloak & Dagger" is a must-have 7" that's been in the works for a long time. Pink, Schuh, and Crooked Cowboy jammed on and off for two years before finally taking the project to the studio.  With the only rule to sessions being "no one is allowed to say no to an idea," the single was written after just three meetings.  The B-side is a remix of "Cloak & Dagger" by Aaron Frankel because the track is so nice, you'll need to hear it twice!

Again, this 7" is limited to only 500 units on transparent orange vinyl. Come by the shop to pick one up or order online HERE. Thanks for the support!
