Busty and the Bass Share New Single, “Wandering Lies” & More Canadian Tour Dates
10-piece soul-jazz collective Busty and the Bass return with the shimmering, groovy summertime single “Wandering Lies”. The sunny indie R&B track is driven by a rolling piano line, huge snare hits, multiple vocalists, and a soulful roaming saxophone solo. The track is about letting go of the fears and lies we find ourselves trapped in and allowing for space to make way for love. It speaks of the necessity to give up control and ego in order to “chase away the blues” while highlighting the importance of living life in our own way, not dictated by anyone else or any societal norms. Continuing their cross-genre explorations, “Wandering Lies” sees the group deftly navigate the new waves of indie jazz and R&B alongside artists like Hiatus Kaiyote, Thundercat, and Kamasi Washington.
“Wandering Lies” is about letting go of the fears and self-fulfilling lies that we find ourselves trapped in and allowing space to make way for love. It speaks of the necessity to give up control and self-identifiers rooted in the ego in order to “chase away the blues”. It also highlights the importance of living life in our own way, not dictated by anyone else or any societal norms. The track is partly inspired by the spiritual teachings of the psychologist/yogi Ram Dass, specifically relating to his seminal 1971 counterculture book Be Here Now.
