Our only problem with Lorde's new album, Melodrama, is that the song "Sober" didn't turn out to be a Tool cover.
But anyway, here's our take on her track, "The Louvre".
lyrics
Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue
Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor
Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard
I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush
Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough
I overthink your p-punctuation use
Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do
A rush at the beginning
I get caught up, just for a minute
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing
Can you hear the violence?
Megaphone to my chest
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Our thing progresses, I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you
But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre
Okay I know that you are not my type (still I fall)
I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (but what about love?)
Nothing wrong with it, supernatural
Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting
A rush at the beginning
I get caught up, just for a minute
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing
Can you hear the violence?
Megaphone to my chest

Another Oregon band with a great new-wave/rock vibe. This is what the Arctic Monkeys would sound like if Alex Turner had grown up listening to synth-pop. Radio Macbeth
Chill-hop is such a great genre, which is why it's a great shame that 90% sounds exactly the same. But Birocratic brings a fresh, interesting take to the genre. His beets will keep you moving. Radio Macbeth
Market, from Melbourne, fuse soul and chillwave on a wonderfully woozy song with rubbery guitars & breathy harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2020
