Jimi Tenor & Tony Allen - "Selfish Gene" (MP3)

Tyler Gould
25 Sep 2009

"Selfish Gene", along with all the other songs on the Jimi Tenor/Tony Allen collaboration, Inspiration Information Vol. 4, came together in under a week, but the loose vibe feels exquisitely seasoned. Allen's stumbling drum beat owns the track, gathering everything else into a beautiful tumbleweed of a jam.
