Notes

From release one-sheet:Rocker Bars is the fourth EP from BassKase who says “What to do during the pandemic lockdown? I went mining. For new ideas, unfinished tracks from the past and renewed musical relationships.” “The title track, Rocker Bars, is a leftfield number that drops in a 60’s technical voiceover and features Canadian guitarist, Darryl Deslauriers. In the lockdown process of checking in on friends I’ve lost touch with, we reconnected. He agreed to throw down and he’s still killing it.”“Song For Barbara is a downtempo track started in 2010, when I met my wife, Barbara. I was happy with the bed tracks, but never quite found the right element to complete it. While mining audio hard drives, I rediscovered an improvisation that amazing Chicago-based singer/songwriter, Xoe Wise, did in my studio a few years back. A lovely ethereal vocal part that took the track over the top.”https://xoewisemusic.bandcamp.com“Ocar-ohno – a dubwise/ambient track developed whilst hunkered in the studio, deep in lockdown. It incorporates a spoken word source I recorded in 1984 for the first Guerilla Welfare record. I found it on an old tape while cleaning up the studio.”“Late Night Or Early Morning is a jazz-funk chiller built on outtakes of a session I did with drummer David Suycott (Stabbing Westward, XMarsX, Razorhouse, Marrow Thieves) a few years back. Dusted it off, built up synth textures and added guitar by Darryl Deslauriers.”
