Bures Band – Ozonia (Yellow vinyl)

Western Australia’s cosmic folk-rock outfit The Bures Band release their third album Ozonia . Written during a period of personal and creative transformation, “Ozonia” serves as both an invitation and a destination; a place imagined somewhere between the Australian landscape, memory and myth. Equal parts road song and reverie, it finds The Bures Band leaning further into the rich harmonies, jangling guitars and widescreen arrangements that have become their calling card. ” Ozonia is a world unto itself,” says Stephen Bailey. “It’s about searching for something just beyond reach – a place that feels familiar but doesn’t quite exist. The album became our way of mapping that journey.” Drawing from the golden age of folk-rock, psychedelic country and kraut-rock- inspired experimentation, Ozonia is The Bures Band’s most ambitious work to date. Recorded in Perth, Western Australia, the album expands upon the foundations laid by 2023’s Birds Nest and 2024’s Fool Circle , while embracing a broader, more cinematic and psychedelic palette. Since forming in Perth in 2022, The Bures Band have carved out a reputation as one of the country’s most exciting emerging acts. Their rise has been marked by a reissue of Birds Nest through Love Police Records & Tapes, widespread acclaim for their second album Fool Circle , and a growing international audience drawn to the band’s cosmic blend of folk, rock and blues. Their live credentials are equally impressive. The band has performed at SXSW Austin TX, Panama Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Out On The Weekend, Dashville Skyline and Wave Rock Weekender, while sharing stages with Tyler Childers, Grace Cummings, Leah Senior, M. Ward and Thee Sacred Souls. With momentum building both at home and abroad, Ozonia arrives as a defining statement from a band operating at the height of its creative powers.
