Ade & Connan Mockasin – It's Just Wind (Vinyl)
Warned by a clairvoyant to get cracking on a long ruminated musical project with his dad "or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life", Aotearoa man of mystery Connan Mockasin bought pop Ade Hosford a ticket to Marfa, Texas to begin recording It's Just Wind.
Out now alongside short film It's Just Wind: The Old Man Records An Album In Marfa, the collection is distinctly Mockasin, with Ade providing charming spoken word - sometimes improvised, sometimes from his book stealthily titled 'Poetry' instead of 'Lyrics' to throw off the Visa Police.
The final result, recorded over one of Connan Mockasin's yearly artist residencies at Mexican Summer’s Marfa Myths festival, is an opus fifty odd years in the making for Ade, whose only evidence of his band The Autumn Stone is some damaged master tapes from the 1970s. Happy 72nd birthday Ade and congratulations on It's Just Wind.
Ade: "It’s primarily a story about a guy who was born in London, England, and came to New Zealand as a young child ... just a matter of survival basically, a story of some guy surviving in a new land".

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
