Waffle House
Mike Chick (baritone guitar / vocals) and Biff Swenson (drums / vocals) have taken Yawn Mower and run with it. I don't know what their original plans were for the project; but, whatever they had in mind, they've grown into one of the most reliably fun and interesting bands in Asbury Park. From originals to original takes on cover songs, the pair have never been afraid to stretch themselves.
Today, Yawn Mower take things another step forward by releasing rap remixes of "Convenience Store" and "When Do We Get to Cash In?" as the split-single Waffle House. The duo worked on both remixes for most of 2017. They went into Eight Sixteen Studios with Pat Noon and started stripping and altering the songs "in the hopes that they would be easier to spit fire and hot sauce over."
"Convenience Store," off of 2016's Get to the Boat, went to Ocean County collective TrapBang. MattyPasq, Kon Sweetie, and Dey Bishop put their own lyrics to the original and absolutely killed it.
For What's All This New Piss? track "When Do We Get to Cash In?," Yawn Mower took advantage of a special freestyle sale that rapper Kool A.D. (Das Racist) announced via Twitter. For $100, he'd take a beat and "flamebroil that ass." Yawn Mower sent the track; and, in a week, they had something magical.
Both tracks feature John Muccino on organ and electric piano.
Waffle House is out today and available via Yawn Mower's Bandcamp page as a Name Your Price download. You can also stream both tracks via Spotify or anywhere else that you like to do that sort of thing. Or you can listen to them right here.
