EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Cars and Trains - Sometimes Falter, Sometimes Sway (Meanest Man Contest Remix)

Posted 11/21/2008 5:06 PM by Faith-Ann Young

You know when Beck went through that funked-out post-hip hop jazz phase around the time of Odelay- even recruiting jazz guitarist Charlie Haden to record with him? The Meanest Man Contest remix of this electronic track by Cars and Trains track sounds similarly inspired - like an almost rusted, backyard jazz party that you have to keep lo-fi so the neighbors won't yell at you. The beat has got a delayed Afrika Bambaataa groove while various guitars, whistles, chimes, and guitar cymbals ebb and flow like they're 10-leagues-under-the-sea.

Sounds Like: Beck, Cars and Trains, DJ Shadow, Bookashade
