Listen to Connan Mockasin

Connan Mockasin, the woozy, dreamlike project of New Zealand-based musician Connan Tant Hosford, has a new album dropping October 12th on Mexican Summer, and his new track “Charlotte’s Thong” will have you wanting more.

He’s playing Desert Daze this year. Do you have your tickets yet?
