Ozan

Ozan is a digital EP released by The Residents; sold as download codes available on cards bought during The Residents' 2010 Talking Light tour. The EP contains un-used material recorded in 2009, initially intended for The Residents' 34th Studio album, a direct sequel to The Bunny Boy, before it was abandoned in favor of the Talking Light live show. The Residents' 34th Studio Album eventually became the dark ambient Hades.
==Background==
===Recording===
In 2007, The Residents began working on a multi-media project known as The Bunny Boy. The Bunny Boy would comprise a web show, a tour, a comic book, and a trilogy of albums, The Bunny Boy, Postcards from Patmos, and an abandoned album known only as 'The Bunny Boy 2', which began work after the conclusion of The Bunny Boy tour in December of 2008.
But by May of 2009, the group had become disinterested in the project and began work on a new live show based around death, aging, and ghosts, known as Talking Light.
===Release===
When Talking Light debuted on January 23rd, 2010, a card resembling a backstage pass was made available for fans to purchase. A unique download link for the Ozan EP was on the back of the card. Since the tour's conclusion in 2011, the EP has been unavailable for purchase.
===Legacy ===
In 2011 all tracks from the EP were later included on the Bunny Boy rarities compilation Ozark, with slight differences on the tracks Arkansas, Relief, and Notchi. Ozan 2-Step later featured on the compilation album Morning Music, and Notchi on Beautiful Eyes. All tracks from the EP are available to purchase as part of the Ozark compilation available from Secret Records.
