Whether bending genres or collaborating with artists like
James Blake, MGMT, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, Connan
Mockasin has always maneuvered in mysterious ways.
After touring with the likes of Radiohead and Neil and
Liam Finn (Crowded House), the R’n’B surrealist continues
assembling a cult around his theater, nay spectacle of life.
Caramel boasts a unique brand of mutated, lustrous soul
that was almost wholly self-recorded over a month in a
Tokyo hotel room. Described by Clash Music as “a true
cosmonaut of inner space,” the album explores different
regions of Mockasin’s singular galaxy, guided by his truly
adventurous songwriting that favors reconfigured pop
structures with a skewed funk sensibility
