Faking Jazz Together

VINYL FORMAT. On Connan Mockasin's album Forever Dolphin Love he dissects, inverts, and dissembles the very structures of the pop song itself. "Faking Jazz Together" is a gorgeous, leisurely amble through an enchanted forest of lush psychedelia, liquefied salsa rhythms and Mockasin's trademark alien vocals. Tom Furse from The Horrors, meanwhile, extrapolates the beats from the original and relocates them in a sprawling dub epic akin to Screamadelica-era Primal Scream, and Kompakt lynchpin Michael Mayer builds a propulsive, unpredictable, tropical-flavored anthem around Mockasin's unusual vocals.
