“Dancing in the Club” is the kind of song you can listen to 18 times in a day whenever you’re in a particular mindset of existential pointlessness about everything going on your life. It’s like the old friend who never wears out their welcome and knows the vibe of the room all too well. We’ve already heard this song before, too. As a highlight off of This Is Lorelei’s listmaking debut album, Box for Buddy, Box for Star, Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos crashed out on a romantic fuck up in a delirium of overly pitch-tuned synth-pop that accentuated the sparkle part of the diamonds more so than the epic failure dealt in the cards. In Lenderman’s grasp, however, we get a proper loser anthem where every word is slowed and sang through his Asheville drawl on the sluggish backbone of a long-strummed alt-country sigh. Off his tongue, fucking up his guitar, his heart, and singing Steely Dan sounds like this story was fated with him in mind. Count your lucky stars to have at least that.

This Is Lorelei’s Box for Buddy, Box for Star (Deluxe) will be released April 25th on Double Double Whammy.
