Paper Monkeys is the new studio album from UK underground legends, Ozric Tentacles is now available. It is the band's follow-up to 2009's The Yum Yum Tree.
That album proved that despite being over 25 years into their career the band were still a force to be reckoned with, Classic Rock Prog stating: 'there are enough moments of brilliance here to make this the best thing the band have committed to tape since Jurassic Shift in 1993.' During this long career, the band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects (including Eat Static and Nodens Ictus), created their own record label (Dovetail & Stretchy), put out close to 25 albums, scored a hit record and sold over a million albums world-wide.
And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.Their signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiralling guitars, textured waves of keyboard and midi samplers, and super groovy bass and drum rhythms continues to delight fans across the world to this day..One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock. It's an open exploration of music and the soul.Paper Monkeys is available on CD, double LP and download.
