Ozma - Spending Time On The Borderline (Purple Marble Vinyl LP)

Ozma’s third album, Spending Time On The Borderline, was originally released on May 6, 2003. Produced by Christopher Fudurich (Nada Surf, RX Bandits, Allister) with the band’s largest studio budget to date, it marked a clear maturation in Ozma’s sound, moving decisively beyond the youthful Casiotone-driven rock of their earlier work. Guest contributors include vocalist Rachel Haden (That Dog) and keyboardist Shmedly Maynes (Arlo), alongside Ezra Buchla (viola), David Moyer and John Ritchie (saxophones). Emotionally direct and sonically adventurous, Spending Time remains a cult favorite. This Cleopatra reissue reaffirms it as a quietly influential gem within the indie rock orbit.
