This Is Lorelei - Box for Buddy, Box for Star [2CD, Super Deluxe]

In 2024 the prolific New York artist Nate Amos released his label debut "Box for Buddy, Box for Star" under his solo moniker This Is Lorelei. The record was critically acclaimed and received year end accolades from Rolling Stone, Billboard, GQ, Pitchfork, Stereogum, The FADER, Paste, but the album and Amos’ star has continued on an unrelenting rise. The last year saw him release a breakthrough record with his band Water From Your Eyes, a rerecorded collection of This Is Lorelei songs entitled "Holo Boy", and share a slew of collaborations and reimaginings of the "Box for Buddy" songs, repackaged as a quasi-deluxe release that included MJ Lenderman, Snail Mail and Amos’ father and sister, Bob & Sarah Amos. The songs on "Box for Buddy" have continued to resonate, appearing in headlines and grainy live videos as artists like Waxahatchee and Cameron Winter cover them, incorporating Amos’ songs into their own setlists. It seemed only logical then that the entirety of Box for Buddy should receive this reimagining, pulling together a constellation of Amos’ friends, family and peers to cover and collaborate on the full tracklist. "Box for Buddy, Box for Star (Super Deluxe)" features fully reimagined versions of every song from Amos’ break out LP; a hushed and glitchy take from Hayley Williams and her close collaborator Daniel James, from their new project Power Snatch, a sweeping ballad from SASAMI complete with headturning key changes, and pure guitar euphoria from Momma. An unexpectedly great pairing between Jeff Tweedy and longtime Amos collaborators fantasy of a broken heart is among the other treasures contained on this singular collection, which also features outsider pop auteur LUCY (Cooper B Handy), Tim Heidecker, and the long awaited studio version of Waxahatchee’s take on “Where’s Your Love Now.” 1.
