This is Lorelei (aka Nate Adams) has announced a super-deluxe edition of his 2024 record Box for Buddy, Box for Star, and it includes a new cover of one of its tracks. This new version of the song “Perfect Hand,” comes from the group Power Snatch, the new side project by Paramore‘s Hayley Williams and producer Daniel James.
“We’ve both been fans of Nate’s for a long time, and loved getting to rework one of our favorite This is Lorelei songs,” said James in a press release. “His natural way with lyrics and melodies made it easy to translate the song to a different place for this project. It also happened to be the song that started Power Snatch.”
This take on “Perfect Hand” slows things down and strips down some of the percussion, but still captures the ethereal vibe of the original. It’s a nice evocation of the Lorelei take without being a straight out copy.
The super-deluxe version features an album of all cover versions of This is Lorelai songs. Contributors include fantasy of a broken heart (feat. Jeff Tweedy), Waxahatchee, SASIMI and Tim Heidecker. The set will be released April 17th.
