Merit ‎(LP, Album, Promo, W/Lbl).

Oakland's Meanest Man Contest is like Boards of Canada doing hip-hop. On "Sorry," the opening track of the duo's album, Merit, Quarterbar's beats stumble and wobble beautifully. While Eriksolo's jazzy West Coast flow is both smart and grooving, it's the scratchy edges that make Meanest Man Contest so unique: the mellow strings and ambient textures on "Not Sorry"; the heavy, simple beats and guitar bits on "Carpal Twist"; and the creaking organs in the Serge Gainsbourg-ian café jazz noir of "Don't Die on Christmas

Meanest Man Contest's music has evolved around a constantly expanding set of influences. MMC's first LP, "Merit," pushed their sound into thoughtful, atmospheric places with jazz samples and live guitar. More recently, the duo has stretched the boundaries of its roots with releases like the off-kilter pop EP "Some People," the electro-tinged single "Throwing Away Broken Electronics," and the hip-hop LP "Split. com/artists/Meanest Man Contest/. Merit is a drunken jazz serenade. Don’t be fooled by the sway & wobble. Meanest Man Contest punch out lights with heavy drum swings. Creaky organs wail from floor cracks, rhythms ride skyward on glistening guitar strings, and cymbal-spun ceiling fans keep it cool. Merit’s compositions are comfortable like cracked leather booths. Meanest Man Contest offer a newsflash for fans of dj Vadim, dj Krush, and Prefuse 73.
