1) Ozma is a five-piece rock group from Pasadena, California, United States. Their sound is a mix of new wave-influenced power pop and rock with Casiotone-driven melodies and heavy guitar riffs. The complexity of Ozma's songs grew considerably during the band's initial nine-year history, and after their split in 2004 they announced their reformation in early 2006.
The band was formed in September 1995 by Ryen Slegr (vocals/guitar), Daniel Brummel (vocals/bass), Jose Galvez (guitar/vocals), and Pat Edwards (drums), with the later addition of Star Wick (keyboard/flute). After assembling a collection of early demos called Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars, the band self-released their first proper full-length Rock and Roll Part 3 on January 1st, 2000. Characterized by distorted guitars, melodic basslines, keyboard-driven hooks, vocal harmonies, and confessional lyrics, the album won the band considerable acclaim via the Internet -- Ozma was one formative success story of online word-of-mouth via Napster and MP3.com. Ultimately, buzz surrounding the band became loud enough to reach Weezer, who would eventually take Ozma (along with The Get Up Kids) on their first arena tour in 2001.
Ozma's second self-released full-length, The Doubble Donkey Disc, saw their sound branch out considerably into complex harmonies and long instrumental passages in mocking homage to prog- and classic-rock. The first half was united by Russian instruments, melodies and allusions, while the second half was more frenetic and attempted to briefly spotlight each member of the band - another tenet of classic rock. In 2001 the band signed to Kung Fu Records, owned by Joe Escalante of The Vandals. Kung Fu remastered and re-released Rock and Roll Part 3 and The Doubble Donkey Disc to a much larger audience, and the band embarked on several national tours including another stint with Weezer (the 2002 Extended Midget tour with Saves The Day) and the 2002 Warped Tour, as well as club tours with Nada Surf, Rilo Kiley, Piebald, Superdrag, and Rooney.
The band's third and final album before a long hiatus was 2003's Spending Time on the Borderline, produced by Chris Fudurich (Nada Surf). More unique, mature, orchestral, and sonically diverse than the first two albums, Spending Time... still dipped into pseudo-prog and classic-rock novelty that the band had briefly explored on The Doubble Donkey Disc. The stress of touring eventually wore down the band, and the quintet called it quits in July 2004 after several months on the road promoting Spending Time on the Borderline. The members went back to school and pursued side-projects; notably, Brummel released a collection of folk-influenced recordings called Speak Easy, and Slegr & Galvez performed and recorded as Yes Dear with Nate Greely of Arlo.
The band reunited for several sold-out shows in Los Angeles in 2006 with Kenn Shane (formerly of Addison) replacing Edwards on drums, and remains together. After previewing several demos and videos of the recording sessions on their MySpace page in late 2006 and early 2007, their fourth album, Pasadena, was released in May 2007.
Ozma headlined their own tour through the Summer of 2007 with newcomers The Actual and Eastern Conference Champions backing them up. In the Fall of 2007 they toured as the backing band to both Blue October and Shiny Toy Guns throughout The United States.
In 2014, Ozma self-released their 5th album Boomtown.

Ozma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So sweat it out and keep your mouth shut
FBI (cover it up), CIA (cover it up)
JPL (cover it up), CNN (cover it up)
Turtleneck (cover it up)
Hope that they're not wondering why I'm never laundering
My turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
Everything I've come to be since she had her way with me
From the shadows in the streets hidden eyes are watching me
Even the wolf wears a disguise
So pull the wool down over your eyes
KGB (cover it up), LBC (rap the fuck up)
MTV (cover it up), FCC (cover it up)
Turtleneck (cover it up)
Hope that mom's not wondering why I'm never laundering
My turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
Everything I've come to be since she had her way with me
Turtleneck cover me don't let any body see
From the shadows in the streets hidden eyes are watching me
Video cameras in the trees
Documenting all they please
Sometimes I wish I could rewind
Video cameras in the trees
Catch her when she comes and leaves
Sometimes I wish I could rewind
I only wish I could rewind
The song 'Turtleneck Coverup' by OZMA is a satirical take on the paranoia and fear of being constantly watched and monitored by government agencies and others in positions of power. The lyrics suggest that one can hide their true selves and their past mistakes by wearing a turtleneck, which serves as a metaphor for a cover-up or disguise. The song mentions several powerful organizations such as the FBI, CIA, JPL, and FCC, suggesting that they are all complicit in hiding the truth or keeping secrets from the public.
The repetitive use of 'cover it up' in the song seems to imply that these organizations are actively working to obscure or bury the truth. The line, "Hope that mom's not wondering why I'm never laundering" suggests that the singer is hiding something from their own mother and that the turtleneck is their way of keeping secrets from loved ones. The song also mentions the fear of being watched, with the line "from the shadows in the streets hidden eyes are watching me."
The chorus of the song, "Turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see everything I've come to be since she had her way with me," suggests that the singer is trying to hide who they have become since a past relationship. The verse, "Video cameras in the trees, documenting all they please," further heightens this fear of being constantly watched.
Overall, 'Turtleneck Coverup' is a commentary on the anxiety and unease that comes with being constantly monitored and the feeling of needing to hide parts of oneself from the world.
