Howie Beck - Sometimes

Toronto's critically acclaimed Howie Beck releases the long awaited first single from his forthcoming self titled album on January 23rd, 2006. Sometimes (she's so far in) is available on CD and 12", and includes two exclusive remixes of tracks from the album by GONZALES and STRATUS.

Sometimes (she's so far in) is a tale of someone who "…can never walk a straight line except sometimes in the morning". Like all of Howie Beck's finest music, however, the sweet melody, uplifting chorus and rocking climax disguise the sting in the song's tail.

The B-sides to the single may take people somewhat by surprise. GONZALES, who has had a long association with howie having grown up with him and many more of the key figures of the Toronto music scene, offered to remix My Low. The results are a strikingly funky and bizarrely uplifting interpretation of howie's original. STRATUS, meanwhile, who have previously remixed Calexico and Lambchop amongst others, were so taken with howie's last album Hollow that they invited him to add vocals to Uplink, the stand out track on their debut album for Klein Records. Their mix of Lay Down is a lush downtempo classic in the making.
