WARP RECORDS
Warp Records mainstay !!! (Chk Chk Chk)Β return to the dance floor with two classic cuts, remodeled and tuned up for a disco-punk runway — Tracy Chapman’s coffee-house classic “Fast Car,” and R.E.M’s belovedΒ “Man on the Moon”Β find new life on this AA. “Fast Car” features vocals from Nicole Fayu and Meah Pace sings on “Man/Moon.”
Here’s what frontman Nic Offer had to say about the project:
“R.E.M. was known as the killer house party band in Athens, years before they became MTV darlings. We re-imagined ‘Man on the Moon’ as something they would play at those house parties, in the thick of the James Brown/Ohio Players sample era. The goal was to make ‘Fast Car’ sound even faster. Something u would play in a FAST FUCKING CAR. The verses are the bitter small town feel of it all and the chorus is the fast car on the open highway — into a night of possibilities….”
