Originally released in 2010, Forever Dolphin Love remainsa vital introduction to the strange and fantastical universeof Connan Tant Hosford. Following its release, Connanenjoyed a flurry of critical and artistic praise from the likesof David Byrne, Johnny Marr, Blood Orange's Dev Hynesand Charlotte Gainsbourg, with whom Connan is anongoing collaborator.There's a truly mercurial quality cast over the album,which is full of subtle idiosyncrasies that gradually revealthemselves after repeated listens. "It's Choade My Dear"and "Faking Jazz Together" are perfect slices of light-headed psych pop, constructed around spidery hooks,pitter-patter percussion and slow, sinuous grooves. Thetitle track acts as the album's centerpiece - an ambitioussuite that clocks in at over ten minutes; slithering throughfunk-filled interludes and lush passages into one of thealbum's most frantic and memorable hooks.
