Eddie is the sophomore studio album from Canadian electro-soul band Busty and the Bass. It was released on August 14, 2020, by Arts & Crafts.[4]
Background
Eddie is the band's first release on Arts & Crafts, the Canadian record label home to notable acts such as Broken Social Scene, Japandroids, and BADBADNOTGOOD. It was announced on July 22, 2020. Like their previous full-length Uncommon Good, Eddie was produced by Neal Pogue, who was also heavily involved in the recording process. The album also features contributions from Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire, who served as an executive producer.[5] According to the band, Eddie is intended to explore the question: “What advice would you impart on that younger self? And if you could pass your younger self a mixtape, what would it sound like?”.[6]
