BASSNECTAR TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM COZZA FRENZY
NATIONWIDE TOUR TO LAUNCH MID-SEPTEMBER
Bassnectar |
The brand new full-length Bassnectar album, Cozza Frenzy drops digitally on September 29, with CDs available in stores on October 27. The “Cozza Frenzy” single and DJ TOOLS Collection are available now at Bassnectar.net and select online retailers. A nationwide tour will launch in mid-September, sweeping through over 30 cities in North America, including headlining shows at The Fillmore in Denver, New York’s Irving Plaza and the House of Blues in Chicago as well as festivals like Austin City Limits and Symbiosis in Groveland, CA.
Bassnectar’s own label, Amorphous Music, teams up with Child’s Play Records to unleash Cozza Frenzy, an amalgamation of sound that combines dubstep, electro, hip-hop, and all styles of dirty digital bass-heavy music and smashes it all into a collision of wobbling, perverted bass lines, and hypnotic hide-and-seek adventures. A work three years in the making, this rich and eclectic collection of 15 songs features collaborations with artists such as Fever Ray, Zumbi of Zion I, Mr. Projectile, and Capital J.
“I wanted to express something emotionally visceral; reflective of the different shades of sonic mania I feel, each song having its own personality and character. I don’t care if something is hip or trendy or not, I just want to give strength to feelings. This is music for people.” With a rabid fan base that grows by the day, “this music” is primed to cause more than just a frenzy when it drops upon the masses September 29.
