It's been two years to the day that we released “As Wide As Zen.” I've written and spoken at length about this song because, in many ways, I think it represents one of the high points of my writing in…

When we released Jitterthink in May of 2021, it was the culmination of a couple of years of “work from home” life that I had been doing before the COVID-19 pandemic had ever started. I had been working as a…

April 26 of 2026 marks ten years since the official and definitive release of Swimming To The Stars (A) and Swimming To The Stars (B). Originally conceived as a single album and momentarily released on bandcamp in 2015, I made…

It might not be apparent how much thought went into the Barricade music video, but the narrative is pretty deeply intertwined with the lyrics. We used very minimal resources and effects to try to illustrate a fairly layered concept, and…

The first single from our debut full-length album “A Fearful Wonder” was released on March 15 of 2019. We had spent the last three years playing one-off shows here and there, leaving people intrigued but puzzled by our sound, and…

On September 7, 2024, we played our second last show before going on hiatus from the live stage. Set at the Meteor bar in Windsor, ON, we shared the stage with local prog wizards Blood Wolf Moon and some new…

During the last third of 2024, I spent a lot of time announcing that KOZEN would be taking a pause from live shows. If you weren't at one of our last three shows, this may come as a surprise to…

The release show for Sunwaves is almost here, and it's worth introducing the artists we will be performing beside and the concept behind the show.

"Sunwaves" is a boundary-pushing new record from a band already known for being extremely eclectic.…

In a new video for Passionfroot, you can catch some of the raw emotions felt during the process leading up to our most recent single, “As Wide As Zen.” The time crunch on top of a long-held sense of perfectionism…

If you're like most people (it would seem), 2024 has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Then again, that applies to most years in recent memory.

After having very few shows over the last two years, we kicked off 2024…

We are well overdue for an update.

The last time we gave you a blog post on this site, it was 2022. Our latest release was the acoustic EP Undercurrent. Over the course of 2022, we played three shows…

What a wild and wonderful ride 2022 has been.

As we come down to the end of the year, I feel a distinct mix of feelings. On the one hand – I can't help but wish we had more time in the year to do more things. Working with band members spread across multiple cities has always presented logistical challenges, and while we have found ways to make it work, it often feels like there just isn't enough time to get the whole squad together.

Our new single BACKPEDAL has been out for just over a week now, and we are excited by the response we've gotten so far. Some folks are saying that the lyrics are the best part of the song, while others…

Hey Kozies!

If you've followed us on YouTube, you may have noticed that we recently shared lyric videos for every song on our record A Fearful Wonder. We are planning on eventually having lyric videos available for every…

Our "semi-live" from home album DOMICILE is out! We enjoyed putting this out on YouTube, but we are excited to also share this with you on streaming platforms and on Bandcamp. You can check out the album at this…

Hey Kozies!

While the ongoing pandemic has locked a lot of us down (especially those of us who are in Canada), we decided it would be worthwhile to put together a "from-home" concert experience. There are new singles (three…

It's amazing to think that the last time we posted on the blog here, it was August of 2020. We had just released Summer Never Ends, one of our most fun and "Pop" oriented songs yet. We're still excited…

Our new single, Summer Never Ends, is out now on all platforms!! Our lyric video for the song is up on YouTube now, so make sure to take a listen.

We are proud to present our latest single…

SUMMER NEVER ENDS!!!

Well, summer itself may end as a season, but that's no reason not to make the best of what's left, right? 

Next Friday (August 21, 2020) we will be releasing a new single, “Summer…

We have just released the Instrumental version of our album A Fearful Wonder - and you can check it out on any major distributor here. Unfortunately, there were some hiccups in our distribution process. We initially wanted to release this on the anniversary of our album release show, but because of an error we unfortunately have it dropping in the middle of a random week. Our bad!

What's up Kozies! We have just released a play-through video for our song Take The Sky, which I guess sort of makes this the second music video from A Fearful Wonder. This is one of the most progressive and complex…

Hey everyone, Max here.

We're a few months past the release of A Fearful Wonder and I wanted to share some new content with everyone. I have a tendency to dabble in EDM and I cooked up a remix…

A Fearful Wonder

1. With Open Eyes

There’s so much you won’t let go 
So gripped by the emptiness 
You won’t show it but I know 
You’ve sunken into distress 
All that you refuse to face 
Leaves you guarded and austere 
Hiding an arcane disgrace 
And living enslaved to fear 

Our new album - the first ever full-length - is out now on all major distribution platforms.

We also whipped up a little live video for…
