Album Review: Tuxedo - Tuxedo

Darren Collins

"Tuxedo exhume a low-riding session of dumb fun(k) that has officially extended summer."

Several years ago, upon discovering a shared obsession with the boogie-disco-funk-soul sound of the early ‘80s, blue-eyed soul singer Mayer Hawthorne and blue-eyed hip hop beatsmith Jake One decided to create a tribute act, Tuxedo. The resulting EP was so well received the duo has now expanded the idea into a full-length set; and it delivers on the promise of that EP in spades. With a clutch of catchy, sexy, synth-driven mid-tempo dancefloor workouts, Tuxedo exhume a low-riding session of dumb fun(k) that has officially extended summer.
