Busty and the Bass & STS - KARNEVAL EP (2022)

Montreal jazz-funk collective Busty and the Bass have teamed up with Philly-by-way-of-Atlanta rapper STS to present KARNEVAL EP, a collection of soulful late night hip-hop centring around the theme of a forgotten fairground, evoking memories of relationships, desire, and nostalgia. The EP ebbs and flows as it explores different and contrasting sonic bounds - from sultry smooth ballads (featuring the soulful falsetto of Jordan Brown) to bouncy funk/disco with nods to Prince and Michael Jackson - all connected through a shared feeling of frustrations with love, sexual temptation, and an impatience for those feelings to transpire.
