Ozric Tentacles welcome their SIXTEENTH?! new album into the world and to celebrate this week we released the tripped out visualiser to “Deep Blue Shade.” Watch the official video through the YouTube player below:
The video, created by Steve McKeown aka Magic Lantern, who was responsible for creating the visual paradise of the albums front cover expands on the aural tapestry in “Deep Blue Shade.” Using the colour blue as an anchor point, the videos illustrations oscillate between desert plains, mushroom skies and all manner of geometric oddities that takes you through life and the universe itself.
Featuring a line-up of band founder Ed Wynne (Guitars, Synth and Bass), Silas Wynne (Modular Synth and Keyboards) and Brandi Wynne (Bass Guitar) augmented by Saskia Maxwell (Flute), Tim Wallander (Drums) and Paul Hankin (Percussion), “Lotus Unfolding” glides from the virtuosic to the serene and is an essential addition to the band’s catalogue.
“Designed to elevate and delight the senses… if the day feels like an unfolding lotus it’s probably gonna be a good one!” – Ed Wynne
The album was recorded, written and produced during 2022 and 2023 by Ed Wynne with help from Silas at their own Blue Bubble Studio in Fife.
