“It all starts clear, gets more hedonistic into the evening, and all the weird stuff goes on late at night. In the morning I try to make sense of it”: Ozric Tentacles’ creative process is as out-there as the results
Ozric Tentacles’ Ed Wynne discusses the band’s unconventional creative process, describing music that begins clearly before becoming increasingly hedonistic and strange late at night, then reassessed in the morning. The feature presents this approach as central to the group’s psychedelic, cross-genre sound and to the creation of their 2023 album, Lotus Unfolding.
Lotus Unfolding is Ozric Tentacles’ 16th studio album, following 2020’s Space For The Earth and Wynne’s solo work. The band emerged from the UK free-festival scene and enjoyed what Wynne calls an “accidental commercial peak” during the early to mid-1990s, despite their unconventional musical style.
