Forever Dolphin Love (Silver Nugget Vinyl) - By:Connan Mockasin - Model Number: MEX166-0

Description

Originally released in 2010, ˜Forever Dolphin Love™ remains a vital introduction to the strange and fantastical universe of Connan Tant Hosford. Following its release, Connan enjoyed a flurry of critical and artistic praise from the likes of David Byrne, Johnny Marr, Blood Orange™s Dev Hynes and Charlotte Gainsbourg, with whom Connan is an ongoing collaborator.

There™s a truly mercurial quality cast over the album, which is full of subtle idiosyncrasies that gradually reveal themselves after repeated listens. ˜It™s Choade My Dear™ and ˜Faking Jazz Together™ are perfect slices of lightheaded psych pop, constructed around spidery hooks, pitter-patter percussion and slow, sinuous grooves.

The title track acts as the album's centrepiece - an ambitious suite that clocks in at over ten minutes; slithering through funk-filled interludes and lush passages into one of the album™s most frantic and memorable hooks.
