Ox

Wilted, broken, skeletal... the incarnation of deconstructed pop & vintage indie... folk anti-hero Mark Browning's new voice, 'OX' is full of diesel and grit, spare of polish. the 2003 spring debut, 'Dustbowl Revival' is a collection of studio weary fragments, fragile masterpieces, sonic accidents... 'americana' at it's low-fi best.

Vancouver, Canada's Ox is a collective project consisting of Mark Browning, Nathan Lawr (Royal City), Chôn (Radiogram), Jesse Zubot (Zubot & Dawson), Ruby Loves U (Sarah Craig), and 'Cosmic' Dave Jeffrey. In the tradition of The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Velvet Underground, ...Frank Zappa - Ox is a musical meeting of the minds - a musical affirmation that anything goes, anything rocks, anything rolls. The brainchild of Browning, Ox springs from a folk background - cultivated in the fertile soils of the canadian & american heartland - upon miles of highway, years of greyhound bus touring, and a multitude of adventure, woody guthrie style. What has emerged is a reflection of middle-america - where trash and beauty meet - a musical liquor store heist that will leave a distinct flavour of dust in your mouth.
