From their roots on the UK's free festival circuit to becoming one of the defining
names in experimental rock, the Ozrics have spent more than four decades charting a
wonderfully offbeat course through prog, space rock, electronica & beyond, creating
an instantly recognisable musical world that has inspired generations of musicians &
listeners alike.
'Harmonic Mind', the band's 17th studio album, is another welcome chapter in that
ever- evolving story. Named after the geometric structure & harmonic nature of
existence, the album sees the Ozrics once again weaving together soaring guitar
melodies, intricate rhythms, lush synth textures & deep, hypnotic grooves into the kind
of free-flowing psychedelic odyssey that has become their trademark.
Recorded at the band's home studios as it gradually took shape across Scotland,
Devon & finally Glastonbury, 'Harmonic Mind' also captures something a little
different. Featuring the full touring line- up - including drummer Pat Garvey, bassist
Corey Wallace, percussionist Paul Hankin & multi-instrumentalist Saskia Maxwell - the
album has a natural energy that reflects the chemistry of the band's live
performances, with each player bringing their own voice to the music.
From the driving pulse of "Guardstones" to the cosmic momentum of "Space
Platform", 'Harmonic Mind' is packed with the flowing musicianship & exploratory
spirit that fans have come to expect & adore. "Malachite" pays tribute to one of Ed
Wynne's favourite minerals, while also giving centre stage to his custom sandalwood
acoustic from Kif Wood Guitars, complete with a beautiful malachite inlay around the
sound hole. It's one of many moments that highlights the warmth & detail running
throughout the album, alongside the fluid interplay between Ed Wynne's guitar & Silas
Neptune's ever-shifting synth landscapes.
Produced by Ed Wynne & Silas Neptune, with mastering handled by Silas for the first
time, the album feels both fresh & reassuringly familiar. Even the return of the beloved
Erp on the cover art offers a knowing nod to longtime listeners. There's no radical
change of direction here, just Ozric Tentacles doing what they do best.
Since emerging from the UK's festival scene in the early '80s, Ozric Tentacles have
remained one of psychedelic music's true originals. More than four decades on,
they're still pushing forward, still exploring new sonic possibilities, & still making
music with the same spirit of curiosity & freedom that first set them apart. 2026 sees
Ozric Tentacles continue their extensive touring schedule with a large run of Autumn/
Winter shows & a number of co-headline shows alongside The Orb.
