Bahamas was a short-lived French group from Paris, which released one album for Polydor and that’s because the musicians involved were all members of famous singer’s Christophe backing group. These were Patrice Tison on guitar, Didier Batard on bass), Dominique Perrier on various keyboards and Roger Rizitelli on drums. “When the musicians of Christophe, Alain Bashung, Gérard Manset, Véronique Sanson, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Jean-Michel Jarre got together to record a unique and poetic work where the shadows of the great artists for whom they perform hover strangely overhead.”

A collaboration from same team as 2018’s Earthtones (Christine Bougie/Don Kerr/Mike O’Brien/Felicity Williams). With the graceful guitar work of Sam Weber, a musician he discovered on YouTube and with GRAMMY-nominated producer Robbie Lackritz, Sad Hunk is the next step in Afie’ virtuosic signature style.

Bahamas is the solo project of singer-songwriter Afie Jurvanen. He recently toured in the USA opening for Jack Johnson on his sold-out tour where he tested out tracks from his 4th studio album Earthtones, out 1/19/18. The album is a quirky yet haunting collection of songs that touch on success, parenting, facing depression, and everything else in his life. Most of all, it’s an album about friendship, & how great it is to have someone in your life that can lift you up when you’re feeling down.

The release, Bahamas Is Afie, is the first self-produced album from the Ontario-based musician. With this record he pursued a far more complex sound than on prior releases and is responsible for the majority of the instrumentation. The album follows 2011’s Barchords, which was praised for being a reserved yet melodically rewarding exploration of relationships and heartache by The New Yorker. SPIN recently premiered the first pre-release track from the album, All The Time, saying Bahamas distills his brand of breezy soul…with summer-ready falsetto harmonies that float over a distorted riff, before ending with a quick solo, a move that reminds this laidback Canuck can shred.
