Bassnectar: Cozza Frenzy Album & Support Tour

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.

The full track listing for Cozza Frenzy is as follows:

1. Boombox

2. Cozza Frenzy Feat. Seasunz

3. Cozza Frenzy (Mega-Bass Remix)

4. The Churn of the Century

5. Love Here (Mr. Projectile) (Bassnectar Remix)

6. Backpack Rehab Feat. Cates & DPL

7. Teleport Massive Feat. Zumbi

8. West Coast Lo-Fi Rides Again

9. When I Grow Up (Fever Ray) (Bassnectar Remix)

10. I Am A Laser Feat. Double You

11. Window Seat

12. I Wish I Was A Hipster

13. Are You Ready Feat. Capital J

14. Boombox (Bassnectar & iLL Gates Remix)

The single, as well as “Cozza Frenzy” DJ TOOLS Collection 1, is available now through Bassnectar.net, as well as other major online retailers. Visit music.bassnectar.net to download.

In support of the album launch, Bassnectar will be touring with a custom-built PK sound system courtesy of the Wobble Factory alongside special guests DJ Vadim, Nosaj Thing and Heavyweight Dub Champion at select cities throughout North America.
