I Just Read It Again

Scott & Charlene’s Wedding “Back in the Corner”

I like to imagine interviewing this band and casually mentioning Lou Reed and the main guy looking blankly at me like, “who is that?” It is entirely impossible to imagine that this guy is anything other than a Lou Reed obsessive who has decided to make his own Lou Reed songs. I suppose this will come off as insulting or as faint praise, but this is an exceptionally good fake Lou Reed song, something that would’ve fit in very nicely on any of the Velvet Underground records. The rhythm, the lyrical detail, the specific vocal tone – it’s all very Peak Lou in a way that doesn’t seem remotely accidental. I’m in awe of how well this guy nails it. The craft and precision is so strong you could absolutely trick someone into believing this is a Loaded outtake.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
