Chilled, funky, guitar infused rap

It's been a little quiet on the new release front, (Well, other than the massive and critically polarising release of Random Access Memories and the deliciously 80s Hearts And Knives.) and actually they'd been keeping me so busy that I'd been just posting them with the odd new discovery!
Well, that changes today because I'm going to dig into the crate and post something I love from the archive.

This is Gideon Conn. He's a strange chap for sure. I discovered him when he was an opening act for Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip. He plays (mostly) chilled, funky, guitar infused rap and pop. Most of his songs are goofy (In a good way.) and great fun with lyrics about a man who drives around selling fish, having a lovely date or just being eccentric.

This one, Yes, No, Maybe, is catchy as all get out. There's a lovely blaring trumpet riff, energetic guitar, some fast paced lyrics about the confusing nature of the opposite sex and it has one of those catchy-but-complicatd vocal sections which I'm a sucker for - Something about being able to sing along to it is particularly satisfying. The lyrics are pretty bitter which contrasts nicely with the happy sound of the song.

Mr. Conn has two albums available here and here. Show some love!
