Ozark

Ozark is a compilation album by The Residents, initially only available through the group's website. It collects several Bunny Boy related outtakes; the majority of which were previously released on the Arkansas album and Ozan EP.
== History ==
=== Recording ===
In 2008, The Residents unveiled their Bunny Boy multimedia project, which ultimately comprising of a web series, three studio albums, a live show, and a comic. A follow up album was worked on between January and May of 2009, before being abandoned in favour of their Talking Light project. 
=== Release ===
To perhaps signify the death of the project, The Residents released Arkansas, in November of 2009; an album representing an earlier form of The Bunny Boy album, with seven tracks removed from the final version. The album was available exclusively through the Ralph America mail-order service, and was a limited release.
Three months later, to perhaps truly put the nail in the bunny-shaped coffin, The Residents released Ozan, a digital EP available to those who attended the live performances of Talking Light, featuring 25 minutes of material The Residents had written for The Bunny Boy follow-up album. A full year later, The Residents combined the two releases (Arkansas, Ozan) into the a limited edition CD-R, Ozark, available to purchase through their website. The compilation completely re-sequences the material in order to give the impression of a coherent product, rather than two separate releases. It also features five previously unreleased tracks, "Golden Guy" (alt mix), "I'm Not Crazy" (alt mix), "More Rain", "Rendered Fat" & "Save The World" (extended version), and two tracks from the outtakes compilation Ten Little Piggies. This alternative mix of 'I'm Not Crazy' later formed the foundation of Semolina from The Residents' Talking Light.
=== Legacy ===
On the album's 10th anniversary, Secret Records re-issued it as a 2xLP vinyl.
