ZRIC TENTACLES RETURN WITH THEIR NEW SINGLE \u2018SPACE PLATFORM\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM HARMONIC MIND<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SET FOR RELEASE ON KSCOPE ON 18th<\/sup> SEPTEMBER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the recent announcement of their new album Harmonic Mind<\/em>, Ozric Tentacles today share the album’s first single, ‘Space Platform’. From chief Ozric Ed Wynne himself – \u201cHey everyone, hope you’re doing well n stuff. Here’s the first taster for the upcoming Harmonic Mind. Space Platform is a bit like a launch pad to the new Ozric world. Twisting and turning through the lines and spaces of the Harmonical mind landscape. Hang onto the turf lest you float away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harmonic Mind<\/em>, the band’s 17th studio album, is another welcome chapter in the ever-evolving Ozric\u2019s story. Named after the geometric structure and harmonic nature of existence, the album weaves together soaring guitar melodies, intricate rhythms, lush synth textures and deep, hypnotic grooves into the kind of free-flowing psychedelic odyssey that has become their trademark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded at the band’s home studios as it gradually took shape across Scotland, Devon and finally Glastonbury, Harmonic Mind<\/em> also captures something a little different. Featuring the full touring line-up – including drummer Pat Garvey, bassist Corey Wallace, percussionist Paul Hankin and 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HARMONIC MIND WILL BE RELEASED EVERYWHERE ON CLASSIC BLACK VINYL LP, TRANSPARENT BLUE VINYL LP, CD AND DIGITALLY. PRE-ORDER HERE:<\/strong><\/a> https:\/\/ozrictentacles.lnk.to\/Harmonic_Mind<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A LIMITED PURPLE VINYL LP EDITION IS ALSO AVAILABLE THROUGH OFFICIAL KSCOPE AND OZRIC TENTACLES STORES.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the driving pulse of “Guardstones” to the cosmic momentum of “Space Platform”, Harmonic Mind<\/em> is packed with the flowing musicianship and exploratory spirit that fans have come to expect and 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<\/strong>, complete with a beautiful malachite inlay around the sound hole. It’s one of many moments that highlights the warmth and detail running throughout the album, alongside the fluid interplay between Ed Wynne’s guitar and Silas Neptune’s ever-shifting synth landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Ed Wynne and Silas Neptune, with mastering handled by Silas for the first time, the album feels both fresh and 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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, and still making music with the same spirit of curiosity and freedom that first set them apart. 2026 sees Ozric Tentacles continue their extensive touring schedule with a large run of Autumn\/Winter shows and a number of co-headline shows alongside The Orb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
