Connan Mockasin: Jassbusters

Connan Mockasin Jassbusters Kemado Records, Inc./d/b/a/ Mexican Summer Connan Mockasin’s latest album is so languid as to make Kurt Vile seem like a Gordon Gekko/Patrick Bateman/Jordan Belfort-type. You can almost hear Mockasin washing away anything he’s done before as he paints over the sounds from Caramel – the closest antecedent to this; it’s as if […]

Post ‘Some’ Bills: The Gig Posters You’ve Saved…Or Wish You Had Saved…

I’m always intrigued to see a version of a gig poster available for sale at the gig – usually at a ridiculously high price. And then you see people with them, after or during; the poster scrunched up like the last bit of Christmas wrapping paper on the roll. A complete waste. I would never […]

Connan Mockasin: Caramel

Connan Mockasin Caramel BECAUSE Connan Mockasin’s second album just might be a prank. But that’s okay, in fact that could be the reason it’s all okay. Of course it could – too – be a sincere statement from an artist; after all, can’t it be both? Connan Hosford – aka Connan Mockasin – didn’t rush […]
