Looks like we're going to the disco after all, kids!
Say Lou Lou - Dust, Pt.1 (EP) + "Above Love"
- Thread starter Tiger Suit
- Start date
Right in time for the seasonal depression to kick in, give me that wintery oups queen's. Their first two albums really are stunning to me and they haven't really put a foot wrong before so I'm perched.
The new single is called 'The Look of Love'
This gives me "Giorgio Moroder doing the 'Suspiria' soundtrack" vibes.
I... Need an album of this!
Here we go!
This is actually rather good!
At first I was a bit worried, when I noticed that it´s yet another cover of the Burt Bacharrach classic. This has been covered to hell and back by so many different artists that it´s almost impossible to bring anything NEW (!) to the table.
But somehow this John Carpenter/Chromatics synth-groove works quite well with their bedroom harmonising.
Sultry pop suits them much better than the overly serious, joyless trip-hop pastiche from the last album.

I've (somehow) never heard any other version of this song so this is pretty much a new song to me. I love it, especially the weird needle-slip outro.
I feel like we might have a bit of a wait until the album though. It seems like this is meant to serve the same purpose as Stayin' Alive - it's just a little something to tide us over during the wait for the album proper.

I love them so much. Obsessed.
Did you click some of my links to check out some of the covers? It seems in the 60´s and early 70´s you were not allowed on a stage without your LOV-cover (in the 80´s and 90´s that honour went to another Bacharrach song: Walk On By).
Thanks, but no thanks for reminding me of their Staying Alive cover...that was atrocious and I had wiped it from memory.
I'll gladly take covers from them. This and the Stayin' Alive cover are both amazing.
I want to go to an interpretive dance class led by them.
Blue on Blue is my favorite cover of theirs.
I was in a charity shop earlier, and what do I find?
Immortelle on vinyl for £5!
The sleeve has a bit of a crease in one corner and a little bit of wear, but otherwise it looks to be in good nick

It makes me sad that they aren't huge. But then also I kinda like that they feel like an undiscovered gem?
Can't wait for album #3.

Well done, but that seems so weird - surely it was so niche that it wouldn't be donated? Maybe someone is Marie Kondo-ing for January?
(watch me get home in 6 months and find my mother ha donated all my vinyl to the charity shop)
