Beastie Boys: 'Electric Worm' (Capitol), Maybe we should be calling them the Beastie men now they've all grown up and cast aside their frat boy tendency. So much so in fact they're not even rapping on this or the album it's taken from. These two tunes are instrumental, downtempo dities that explore the Boys musical dexterity. I think everyone including myself forgot they started off as a punk-hardcore band, so in the time between them picking up mics and producing one or two LP's they managed to learn how to playElectric Worm (b/w Suco De Tangerina) is a limited edition 7" vinyl
release from Beastie Boys taken from the band's recent instrumental
album The Mix-Up (released in July).
Sure to please fans of the
instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication (and the
cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In
Sound From Way Out!) The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on
one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new
directions. 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals.
Mike
"Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz will
return to the UK week of the single release to play dates at Brixton
Academy plus an instrumental only show at Camden Roundhouse and a
headline appearance at Bestival on Isle of Wight.
