Wasting All Your Lovin’ is the second single on Sonar Kollektiv from Hamburg based quartet, The KBCS. Hot on the heels of the warmly received Popsicles, which got featured on Clash Magazine, comes this slice of sophisticated soul music featuring the velvet tones of Bowie.

On first listen, Wasting All Your Lovin’ might seem, in contrast to the KBCS’ previous single, a more organized piece of music, complete with resplendent vocal hooks and a very radio friendly sound. Like Popsicles, though, this too started out life as a freeform jam session amongst the four instrumentalists. The only important difference on this one being that this was the only song on the forthcoming album where all four musicians recorded together in one room! Perhaps this is the reason for it’s more crafted feel, or perhaps it’s because of Bowie’s lyrical genius?

„Wasting All Your Loving“ is about a separation, after which one of the two ex-partners does not manage to come to terms with the new reality and accordingly does not live it. Although one is still in the same world, it suddenly seems as if one is in different dimensions. The one who moves on and accepts the reality, manages after some time to see the positive things of the ex-relationship. The other, however, is stuck in the past. - Bowie

Whatever the reason, Wasting All Your Lovin’ should be the song that you hear every morning when you turn on your radio this summer.

The KBCS represent the coming together of four very uniquely gifted, but very complementary, musicians from Hamburg. Drummer Lucas Kochbeck spends much of his time obsessing about vintage recording equipment, tape machines and the like, whilst adding his talents to the recordings of retro-loving contemporaries such the Bacao Rhythm And Steel Band and the Colemine Records family.

Keyboard wiz Nicolas Börger is very much an in-demand, sound-centric master of the blacks and whites, in the same way that guitarist Lars Coelln lends his skills to a myriad of works across the sonic spectrum. Completing the quartet, bottom end provider Daniel Stritzke adds a little freeform jazz and hip hop attitude to the mix, but even then you can find his bass holding things down on crossover hits galore.
Wasting All Your Lovin’ is taken from the band’s forthcoming sophomore album, Color Box, due out in November on Sonar Kollektiv. 

Keep an eye out too for their collaboration with Thomas D of Die Fantastischen Vier (The Fantastic Four) - also due out in 2021, which is sure to be a strong year for this terrific tetrad.

Coral Egan is an artist reborn. Enjoying success early in her career - The Path Of Least Resistance (2002) and My Favourite Distraction (2004) winning a Juno nomination and Félix award between them - Egan might have been forgiven for hitting artistic cruise control. Instead, following the success of 2007ʼs Magnify in her native Quebec, an album she co-produced, came three years of change: she had a child, then fell madly in love, kick-starting a bout of soul searching that became the catalyst for an artistic conversion.

In 2010, “taking inspiration from a new generation of independent musicians” and this time without producer, Egan began writing again. Inspired by new life experience, she collaborated with songwriter Albert Chambers to pen her most autobiographical material to date. Entering the studio in late 2011 with co- producer/engineer Tim Gowdy, she began a series of collaborative sessions with a group of Montreal musicians that included drummer Robbie Kuster and bassist Mishka Stein of Patrick Watsonʼs band, pianist Jon Day, beatboxer Jason Levine, as well as a guest appearance from guitarist Warren Spicer of Plants and Animals. Drawing from a rich palate of influences, the group together arranged, produced and recorded a set of songs that evoke California soul, singer- songwriter and indie-rock, while retaining Eganʼs distinctive jazz-inflected vocal style.

The resulting album, The Year He Drove Me Crazy, is centered thematically on relationships, specifically on the effects of romantic love and the complications of blended families. Artistically, it is a deeply personal ode to her passage from “lyrically detached and controlling artist” to a musician who has discovered the desire to share her highs and lows with her public and embrace a spirit of spontaneity and musical collaboration sure to win her a whole new set of fans. ﻿

The album received a nomination for "Adult Contemporary Album Of The Year" at the 2014 Juno Awards.

It was also nomitated for two Felix awards at Le Gala de l'ADISQ 2013 -  English Album of the Year and Recording  Engineer of the Year.
