Isle of Wight’s ugly ozo announce their new EP dive, out 1 May via REX RECS, and share new single ‘overkill’.
With ugly ozo’s signature clever lyrics and buzzy instrumentals, ‘overkill’ captures the uneasy pull of staying in the comfort zone of a relationship you know isn’t right.
“‘overkill’ tells the story of loving someone who you know, deep down, doesn’t meet your standards and doesn’t treat you right – but staying anyway. Not for romance or hope, but out of loneliness, laziness, fear, and the comfort of routine. It’s the truth no one wants to admit: sometimes we cling to the wrong person because being alone feels scarier than being unhappy.”
