Musician/Songwriter LORENZO BUHNE takes us on a musical journey through his OZNEROL ERA with raw, honest analog demos & home recordings from 1984 to 1991 - recorded during his tenure as the bassist for Los Angeles band’s The Dickies and Fear!!
 
ANNOUNCEMENT
 
We are thrilled to bring you Oznerol Era by Lorenzo Buhne, out on NocturnalSol, a division of Heyday Media Group, as part of our new Musings series. The album is comprised of a group of demos and recordings written, arranged, remastered and recorded by Buhne between 1984 and 1991 during his tenure as the bassist for Los Angeles band’s The Dickies and Fear.

Oznerol Era is the inaugural release on NocturnalSol's Musings series. Musings was created to showcase previously unheard recordings, demos, song sketches, rough mixes, live recordings, and more. Whatever they are, wherever they come from, Musings celebrates these sparks of creativity that are closest to that space that encompasses creative spirit.

====================================================

The Oznerol Era is a collection of songs from three separate events in my life.

First up are songs from the Oznerol E.P. which was released in 1985 on the ‘Made in Space’ label. It was well received by US College radio, which was quite a thrill.

The second batch which are most of the songs contained here are from a rehearsal/recording which occurred in 1989, with Robert Lansing (aka Enoch Hain) on guitar and Jerry Angel on drums. They were going to be part of an Oznerol follow up release that never happened.

And third is, ’She Likes it!’, a song demoed on my own on the trusty-crusty 4 track Tascam cassette deck, at my place in El Sereno in 1991.

I had actually forgotten about these gems and if it were not for Renee at NocturnalSol for nudging me all of these years to put them out, it wouldn’t have happened.

It is music to be in the mood for so... whenever you feel like letting your hair down or rebelling, this will help you get there

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

Stay away from UFO’s…..Good health and See ya soon… LorenzOznerol

NOTE FROM ARTIST:
When I read the ‘Songs of Innocence - Introduction’ poem by ‘William Blake, I loved it! It is profound.

I turned the page to see what’s next and... ‘The Shepherd’ transported me back to my childhood in Naples.

Every year we’d have the opportunity to see and hear the ’Zampognari’ musicians, who were really only shepherds. They would come to our neighbourhood and play for donations at Christmas time.

With unkempt outfits, a loud beauty and wailing sounds, they would cast spells, fantasies and emotions on us… and Blake’s words flow in and out time. (Lorenzo Buhne | Nov 2023)

The Shepherd

LORENZO BUHNE - The Shepherd

NOTE FROM ARTIST:
The recording period of the Blake songs was just after Christmas of 2014 during the school holidays.

The boys, very young, hung around playing games while I practiced songs and vocals.

On several occasions, Nico, at the time 9 yrs old, kept singing… ’Merry, Merry Sparrow, under leaves so green…’ over and over , while playing on his own on the floor. After a while it occurred to me that I should ask if he would like to sing it and… he declined.

I waited a moment and then said: Nico, it’s possible that some 30 or 40 years from now you’ll come across this recording and while listening to it you’ll say, “Wow! I remember this moment with dad”. He looked at me and said, “Ok dad, I’ll do it!”

He sang it like he wished, in one take. Definitely one of my all time favorite memories.
