专辑简介

"Several months ago I met my dear friend Ben (Uzi & Ari) at the San Francisco Airport. He was returning from a Japanese tour and I pegged him with questions about the far East, surely aggravating his jet lag. After hugs and words we made our way to my studio where he settled in for a pair of days. During his stay he tracked two tunes. The first was a new version of “Soggy Snow Shoes on The Front Porch” from his “It Is Freezing Out” album. The second was a gorgeous cover of *****’s “Unravel”. Using my new–but old–upright, some bells and his voice, he gave a sincere and lovely high five to *****, an artist we’ve both been enamored with for ages. So it made sense for me to follow his lead and do my own ***** cover. I chose to rebuild ”Who is it” from her “Medulla” album, my favorite of her catalog.

To my joy, Ben proposed that we release the covers as part of a Uzi & Ari/TaughtMe EP that he can sell during his approaching solo tour in Europe. The disk includes a TaughtMe remix of Uzi & Ari’s “Thumbsucker”, an Uzi & Ari remix of TaughtMe’s “Strangeness”, as well as a new song from each band. "
