BUSTY AND THE BASS SHARE LIVE OF THE FLOOR VERSIONS OF TRACKS FROM FOREVER NEVER CARES, FILMED AND RECORDED AT BREAKGLASS STUDIOS. FESTIVAL PERFORMANCES BEGIN THIS WEEK
Montreal indie collective Busty and the Bass return with a reimagination of their funk-pop single “Starstruck” (ft. Jordan Brown). The new version was filmed and recorded live off the floor in the band’s Breakglass Studio, capturing the group’s indelible connection as performers. Between the otherworldly falsetto vocals of Jordan Brown, the vibrant horn section, and Alistair Blu’s charismatic hook, the song is an infectious groove, leaving you wanting more.
“Starstruck” (feat. Jordan Brown) (The Breakglass Version) is Part 1 of a series of three live performances filmed and recorded in collaboration with Montreal director/film-maker Guillaume Landry.
“The track is an alternate take on the original version of the song and is generally more raw than the original,” the band says. “This version is live-off-the-floor and features the larger umbrella of musicians within the collective. Additionally, the track marks Jordan Brown’s shift from collective collaborator to a core member of Busty and the Bass.
“Landry’s vintage-styled video for the song matches effortlessly with the track’s themes of flashiness, glamour, and purity vs. corruption. His use of multiple frames throughout the video (with many shots taken from live show performances and backstage tour antics) gives the feeling of excess and requires several watch-throughs to internalize everything happening on screen.”
