Following a string of mini-releases, sprawling Montreal unit Busty and the Bass are now finally announcing their debut album. Titled Uncommon Good, the full-length is due out on September 8 via Indica Records.
A press release states that "Compared to their previous three EPs, their first full-length album finds them focused on the project as a whole, rather than just a collection of songs. It synthesizes a swirling mixture of funk, soul, rock, hip-hop, dance music, and gospel that is layered, polished, and unified."
For a taste of that, Busty and the Bass recently shared a new video for their single "Common Ground."
In a statement, the group said, "At the core of 'Common Ground' we're talking about the people we love and feel a connection or similarity to, whom we don't appreciate enough. So for one of us that's a grandparent, for one of us it's an old friend or a lover, but we all feel something real when we play it live."
