Description

THE DAY WE DECIDED TO LIVE AT NIGHT 2025

Label Berthold Records

OZMA’s 8th studio album, “THE DAY WE DECIDED TO LIVE AT NIGHT”, released on April 4, 2025, represents drummer and leader Stéphane Scharlé’s most personal repertoire.

This album is full of beloved snakes, fire fairies and metallic witches, children’s antics and soft, comforting strings. Violence and tenderness like inverted values of the same silver coin.
