One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient & ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves & psychedelic progressive rock. It’s an open exploration of music & the soul.
The band's first release after Merv Pepler & Joie Hinton left to form Eat Static, ‘Become The Other’ still possesses the cool, psychedelic spare rock of its predecessors. With hints of techno, psybient & world music, the album kicks off with some fine guitar & bass on 'Cat DNA', followed by the atmospherics of 'Ahu Belahu' & 'Ghedengi'. 'Wob Glass' is all synthy techno whilst 'Neurochasm' is a cool trippy rock track & so very Ozrics. The title track visits reggae with lengthy finishers 'Vibuthi' & 'Plurnstyle' both smorgasbords of classic Ozrics sounds.
And that's ‘Become The Other’ in a nutshell: everything you'd expect of an Ozrics album, but not sounding exactly like any other Ozrics album.
