With over a lifetime of work put in, yet recorded in a night, It’s Just Wind took both forever and an instant to create. In itself, it is exactly what you would expect… it is something else entirely.
Connan and his dad, Ade, decided to put pen to paper and commit to the ‘father-son album’ that they had always joked about. After Ade had a near death experience, Connan was told by a psychic that his father-son project had to be made a priority, and thus we are presented with It’s Just Wind – which does not mean anything profound, but simply relates to Ade’s flatulence problems – after all, ‘It’s Just Wind.’

Connan Mockasin could very well have a PhD in the exploration of intense sensuality. With his weird retro look, he defies all the genre’s conventions and questions the perceptions of awareness and the body in his third album, Jassbuster. He is accompanied by a band for the first time with whom he recorded the album in Studio Ferber, in Paris, in 2016. It took Connan Mockasin two years to unveil this lust-filled album because Jassbuster is also the original soundtrack for his five-part movie: Bostyn n’Dobsyn. His two previous albums, Forever Dolphin Love and Caramel, had already painted the New Zealander’s romantic, fantastic and psychedelic universe. But this time, Connan is at his peak! This album creates a platform for languid dancing to tasty guitar riffs and elastic reverbs. The lyrics are a sort of disjointed poetry, but the main focus of this neurotic creation is still its melodic lines.
