Led by Connan Hosford and supported by Ross Walker and Seamus Ebbs, the group alchemized a audio that nodded towards the soporific trippiness of Lothar & the Hands People, the bluesy swagger of Jimi Hendrix, as well as the puckish bite from the B-52’s. It had been, quite simply, a sound related compared to that of fellow Oceanians Structures in Helsinki, not forgetting numerous U.K.-centered indie groups just like the Royal We, Misty’s Big Adventure, as well as the Kazoo Funk Orchestra, which were exploring related twee-ish territory at exactly the same time. Connan & the Mockasins individually released several EPs, 2004’s Naughty Vacations and 2006’s Uuu It’s Teasy, before obtaining found by U.K.-structured Regal Recordings. The group’s initial EP on that label, Sneaky Sneaky Dogfriend, premiered in 2007.
