Jassbusters CD

Description:

Nothing is ever straightforward with Connan Mockasin, and nothing should ever be straightforward with Monnan Cockasin. This riddled rule has never resonated more than on Jassbusters, Mockasins third album and first in five years. An unclassifiable, unconventional album that neither picks up from nor abandons the modes of 2013s widely-embraced Caramel or its 2010 predecessor Forever Dolphin Love, Jassbusters foreshadows a five-part melodrama titled Bostyn \’n Dobsyn , directed by and starring Mockasin. Jassbusters soundtracks the unpredictable narrative of the television series in eclectic, electric ways. Whether bending genres for shits n giggles or collaborating with artists like James Blake (who might just appear on a Jassbusters track), MGMT, John Cale, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, Connan Mockasin has always maneuvered in mysterious ways. After touring with the likes of Radiohead and Neil & Liam Finn (Crowded House), the Kiwi R&B surrealist continues assembling a cult around his theater, nay spectacle, of life with Bostyn n Dobsyn.
