Dark Oz has announced a new EP, out right now as of Nov. 16. The new EP is titled Fortunately Blank and features Frank Meriwether on vocals/guitar, a constant through the band's three EP catalog, plus collaborators Miguel Rivera (now on bass), Nick Linday (guitar), Hic Fiat (drums), and Matt Boney (keys). Lindsay Bones also contributes backing vocals.
The EP was recorded this March in Astoria, OR in an unmarked studio near the location of The Goonies.
"Haunting seems to be a lyrical theme throughout this EP with references to ghosts and demons popping up," the band notes, as the songs explore childhood, a sense of home and, ultimately, seeking connection. The music similarly bridges these concepts, drawing from indie rock, psychedelia, punk, country, and more.
