GRAMMY-WINNING DUO BRASSTRACKS’ DEBUT ALBUM GOLDEN TICKET OUT TODAY VIA EQT RECORDINGS AND CAPITOL RECORDS
Today, GRAMMY® Award-winning duo Brasstracks (multi-instrumentalist Ivan Jackson and percussionist Conor Rayne) release their highly anticipated debut album, Golden Ticket, via EQT Recordings and Capitol Records. They’ve worked with Harry Styles, Chance The Rapper, Mark Ronson and more – now it’s their time in the spotlight. And in a musical landscape ruled by great pop acts & club heaters, Brasstracks come seemingly as the last pair of band geeks that to sign up for the big leagues — with a major label contract and the space to make the album they’ve always wanted, Jackson and Rayne have found their Golden Ticket.

“For our label debut, we wanted to highlight the “golden ticket” dream of being signed,” Jackson and Rayne said about the album. “It’s an ironic symbol, because the truth is nothing happens overnight. Especially not for a trumpet player and a drummer that don’t fit into any typical music industry mold. The only way we could grapple with that was by making the music that was most authentic to us, at the highest level possible, and delivering it to you.”
“Eight months worth of hard work from not just us, but our entire team, our brasstracks family, Jackson and Rayne continue. “We lost a member of that family this week. This album is for you, Quinn. Thank you for believing in us.”
Golden Ticket reinforces the duo’s free-thinking approach to songcraft with an unprecedented charm. An eclectic mix of collaborators are featured on almost every track – including modern rap and R&B titans such as Common, Masego, GRAMMY® Award nominated Tank of Tank & The Bangas, Robert Glasper and more.
