Buck 65

Buck 65 will release a new album, entitled ’20 Odd Years’, on 28 Feb. The title comes from the fact that he’s been making music for 20 odd years. You’d have thought that would have made a better title for a greatest hits compilation, but it’s too late to change things now.

Not least because the tracks on the album are actually culled from his ’20 Odd Years’ vinyl EP trilogy, which was released last year, along with two new tracks. The tracks feature various guests, including Gord Downier of Tragically Hip, John Southworth, Nick Thorburn from The Unicorns, Jenn Grant, Hannah Georgas, Marie-Pierre Arthur and Olivia Ruiz.

Says the rapper: “Recently I came to realise that I’ve been getting weird on tape for 20 years. I decided to celebrate and invited a bunch of my fellow sub-normals to the party. We ate pasta and pretended we knew what each other was talking about. It was uncomfortable a lot of the time, but lots of exciting music was Frankensteined”.

Here’s the tracklist:

Superstars Don’t Love
Gee Whiz
Whispers Of The Waves
Paper Airplanes
Stop
Zombie Delight
Tears Of Your Heart
Cold Steel Drum
Who by Fire
She Said Yes
BCC
Lights Out
Final Approach
