Paramore’s Hayley Williams and longtime collaborator Daniel James recently launched the new duo Power Snatch, releasing EP1 last month. Wiliams is about to embark on her first-ever solo tour, and Water From Your Eyes are the opening act. Today, Power Snatch have shared a cover of ‘Perfect Cover’ by This Is Lorelei, the solo project of Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos. It’s beautifully textured and emotive. Check it out below.
“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,” James said 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.”
Amos, who sings backup on the cover, added: “Getting to hear Hayley and Dan’s beautiful take on ‘Perfect Hand’ for the first time was surreal, getting to contribute vocals was even more so. Couldn’t be more stoked for this to exist.”
Power Snatch’s cover of ‘Perfect Hand’ will appear on the just-announced Box for Buddy, Box for Star (Super Deluxe), which follows the first deluxe edition of This Is Lorelei’s breakout album. In addition to previously unveiled covers by MJ Lenderman, Snail Mail, and from Bob and Sarah Amos, Nate’s father and sister, it features Waxahatchee, Momma, SASAMI, Tim Heidecker, LUCY aka Cooper B. Handy, and fantasy of a broken heart with Jeff Tweedy.
Last year, This Is Lorelei put out another album, Holo Boy, featuring re-recordings of older songs from his catalog. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with This Is Lorelei.
