Swedish melodic rockers Osukaru have released their brand new video ‘Arrows’, taken from their new album “Transition”. Out now on City of Lights Records (CD) and Simply Boundless Records (digital).
The album was mixed and mastered by Attila Bokor (Morph, BOA) and Kevin McNoldy (Dave Matthews Band, Backstreet Boys) who together brought out the biggest production yet on an Osukaru record.
As with all the other Osukaru releases, the artwork for “Transition” was created by guitarist and founder Oz Osukaru, this time having band partner and vocalist Cecilia Camuii modeling on the cover.
“It just felt like a natural progression to instead of hiring yet another model, I’d use our very own” Oz says. “Cecilia have done a lot of modeling in the last couple of years and during the production of our last album ‘Triumphant’, she expressed an interest in taking over the blindfold for the follow-up release. I didn’t need to think about it, not even for a second – I had the same idea myself. This time however we took it a bit further by creating an original story arc spread out throughout the booklet as well as for the first time actually include a song about the character.”
Osukaru are: Oz Osukaru (guitars, keyboards), Cecilia Camuii (lead vocals), Fredrik Werner (lead vocals, guitars) and new member Vidar Mårtensson (also in Siphon Fuel) on drums. On “Transition” they are joined by Jens Björk (saxophone), Fredrik Svensson (bass) and long time member Ryan Coyle (drums).
