The Laziest Remix, collaboration between Elizabeth McQueen and former Austenite David Lazaroff and his St. Louis soul-freakout-folk band, Brothers Lazaroff, pushes McQueen far beyond her American roots comfort zone. This collection takes five songs solidly based in the tradition of mid-20th century vocal jazz from her 2010 release the Laziest Girl in Town, plus one song from the Brothers catalogue and infuses them with elements of hip-hop, noise rock, R&B and reggae. The outcome is a fresh reworking of the music that brings together the best of multiple genres into groovy, danceable art-form.
