(sometimes written as Ox Eagle Lion Man) was a British band, comprising elements of prog rock, folk and post punk.
[1] Singer Fred MacPherson and bassist Tommy Howson were joined on drums by the former Bono Must Die frontman Tobi O'Kandi.
They played with Four Tet, Bono Must Die, The Polyphonic Spree, These New Puritans, Emmy The Great and toured with Lightspeed Champion and The Scare.
[6] The name of the band is suggestive of both Hebrew and Greek scriptural references—at Ezekiel 1:10 and Revelation 4:7, respectively—of the cardinal attributes of God personified and displayed by His four attending creatures.
These creatures were described as having the faces of an ox, an eagle, a lion, and a man—singularly or collectively on each one's head—representing a perfect balance of power, wisdom, justice, and love.
