Ozric Tentacles - Harmonic Mind Ozric Tentacles
For over forty years, Ozric Tentacles have carved out a universe entirely their own.
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.
Presented as a digipack CD.
