mp3 :: cars & trains > Some Lonesome Street Corner (Universal Studios Florida Remix)

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Editor of Circle Into Square and PDX multi-instrumentalist, Tom Filepp is cars & trains. He has a new album entitled The Roots, The Leaves coming out on Fake Four on Jan 26.

Filepp fuses experimental folk and electronic sounds using a large pallet of sounds, including:

layers of decaying feedback
out-of-the-box electronics
woodwinds
glockenspiel
tape samples
vocals
trumpets
malfunctioning toys
electronic stutters
organic drumming
banjo
acoustic guitar
sampled americana

Here is a snapshot of some of his gear:

On the day of the release, cars & trains will be giving away a remix album The Roots, The Remix on http://www.carsandtrains.net/. I am particular looking forward to hearing the Ernest Gonzales remix. What I have for your downloading pleasure right now is a remix by Seattle-based knob tweakers USF a/k/a Universal Studios Florida .
