Özergun - The Days Before Lockdown
THE DAYS BEFORE LOCKDOWN
ÖZERGUN
Boldrewood Records 2022
The Days Before Lockdown responds to the pandemic in a two-tiered fashion. The verses focus on the minutiae of everyday life. The chorus pulls away from the small and takes a snapshot of a bigger picture, emphasising our collective unease and trepidation.
Despite the lyric’s specific point of view, the new song depicts some undoubtedly familiar emotions. Particularly ones experienced by Victorians living through the most prolonged lockdown in the world.
The Days Before Lockdown sees the band develop their hybrid alt-folk style, not only incorporating a fertile subject for exploration but employing a blend of organic sonic textures and assured performances to create a committed, persuasive record.
Produced by Richard Buchanan
Partly recorded by Eli Te Moni at Box Hill Institute
