Ozarks is Robbie Augspurger's main musical project. Augspurger writes and records Ozarks songs with the help of his friend EricLee. In his words, it's really them making music they think is "cool tolisten to, kind of in the vein of late 60s/early 70s baroque pop".

Augsperger continues: "Eric has probably forgotten more about late60s/early 70s French/Italian chanson/cinema-pop than I've ever known. Anexample: In the song 'As I Lay Sleeping', we've got a subtlereference to Ennio Morricone at the 1:20 mark, with a harpsichord melodyfloating atop a repetitive chord progression with a descending bass part. Underthat you have very Serge Gainsbourg rhythm section (a la 'Jane B'),kind of light break beat with pick bass. Then we thought it would be cool tohave a nod to Badfinger, with the guitar solo. And then the backing vocals wereinspired from the 1970 Beach Boys song 'All I Wanna Do', from thealbum Sunflower." Lots of intention, lots of amazing references, lots ofmind-blowingness.
