D.A. Stern will release his new EP Mmxxtape next week and has returned with yet another single with “2 Drink Minimum” that follows the previously released “Tall Girlfriend” and “Since You’ve Been Gone.”
“2 Drink Minimum” features vocals from both Fat Tony & Colleen Green and features a wide variety of sounds and genres that add up to a genre-bending sound that is very much its own thing and it gets a fun music video along with its release.
You can find the video available to watch below, along with a quote from Stern about the track below.
“2 Drink Minimum” was born from a song that I was working on where I absolutely loved the track but couldn’t figure out a vocal approach that did it justice. It’s inspired by film noir and I wouldn’t argue with someone for detecting a Twin Peaks influence. So I thought inviting a rapper would take the pressure off of having to come up with something and it might also add to the otherworldliness of the whole thing. Fat Tony is a new friend I made here in LA and Colleen Green is an old friend from my New York days. They also happen to be friends with each other and their sensibilities, despite representing seemingly disparate music, match really well. Surprisingly, some people have asked me if I wrote the lyrics to Tony’s verse. I usually tell them to listen to it more closely.
