Connan Mockasin is one of life’s interesting characters, building and molding his own psychedelic personality over the past few years. Like a psychedelic Daniel Johnston styled personality in the fact that he creates his own imaginary world. On his first album he took us to the imaginary world of the Snat, but I’ve got a feeling that the next record is going to to be more on the romanticist side of psychedelia.
I’m The Man, That Will Find You feels like its the long lost track from Connan Mockasin’s long over due second album Caramel, Instantly it hits you with smooth lofi psychedelia, it almost feels like we are drawn into flowery dream, with Mockasin’s cartoon styled vocals that strangely to bring up the image Leo Sayer for unknown reasons. there is something also a bit Eagles like about the whole soft sounding production which is not to dissimulator to fellow New Zealanders Unknown Mortal Orchestra. I wait with anticipation for the album now.
Hey Jeff, good read. I like your blog! Don’t suppose you’d have a chance to blog about something of mine in the near future would you? I’m working on a video that I should have out in December. Will let you know more soon. Hope you’re well mate.
