You might not have known at the time, but you’ve almost certainly heard Brasstracks on some of your favorite artists’ best songs. Brewed and centered in NYC, percussionist Conor Rayne and multi-instrumentalist Ivan Jackson have lent their talents to Khalid, Anderson .Paak, Wyclef Jean, Mark Ronson, and Chance the Rapper, whose song “No Problem” helped earn the drum/horn duo their first Grammy.
Brasstracks has spent much of 2020 hyping up their new album Golden Ticket (out August 21st) with a string of double singles that’ve enlisted an eclectic cast of collaborators, most recently flexing their collective embouchure on a rich bossa guitar groove featuring Londoner Col3trane and encouraging social action with an innovative music video, “Missed Your Call”!
