As we've previously discussed, Elvis Costello and The Roots are working on an album together called Wise Up Ghost. Now, we have the first bit of new music from the super-collaboration and a tracklist for the whole shebang.
Check out "Walk Us Uptown" below:
The track sounds exactly how you imagined Elvis Costello with The Roots as his backing band would. Costello's nasally voice sounds perfect over Questlove's unmistakeable drums, like a proto-Julian Casablancas with a bit more of a sneer on.
