Connan Mockasin goes solo in Bangkok this October

Connan Mockasin has always felt like the sort of artist who wandered in from a parallel dimension, guitar slung over one shoulder, humming something half-remembered from a dream. When he last appeared in Thailand back in 2019, it was a blink-and-you-miss-it affair. This time he’s coming back stripped bare – just him, a guitar and a catalogue that slips between surreal lullabies and funk-soaked hypnosis.

Born Connan Tant Hosford, the New Zealander has spent more than a decade crafting a sound that refuses to sit still. His debut Forever Dolphin Love arrived in 2010 like a transmission from a warped ‘70s lounge, all elastic basslines and falsetto whispers. Caramel oozed into being three years later, woozier and more groove-driven, while the twin Jassbusters records played like lost film scores beamed from a late-night TV station that may or may not exist.

He’s never been shy of collaboration either. Ade joined him for It’s Just Wind, a loose collage of electronic soul and analogue haze. Elsewhere, he’s turned up alongside Charlotte Gainsbourg, Dev Hynes, James Blake, MGMT and even John Cale, drifting across genres as if categories were more of a suggestion than a rule.

So when October rolls around, expect something intimate, unguarded and quietly strange. Take note – this won’t be a night that slips quietly by. Here’s what you need to know.
