Songs with other artists’ names in them are somewhat of their own trivia category — Low has a song called “Hatchet” in which the entire lyrics refer to the rivalry between The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. This one references Billie Eilish’s big t-shirts, and how they’re so silently stylish.
This song has established itself as a pretty massive micro-hit — micro in that it’s a one minute and 42 second micro smash. Just like Gucci Gang, whatever songs are on the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show, and so many others. But ISN’T it homophobic?
This is the third song to come out from this longtime Fraser Valley based quartet — which used to be a quintet, now living in Winnipeg, Montreal, and still Chilliwack — released off their sophomore full-length, Circuitous. It’s their first with Flemish Eye after the EP “III” last year. Playing Abby soon!
So many of this artist’s songs were hits that I hadn’t even realized she was less a cult figure than an international phenomenon, especially after having just been shown this era-appropriate video from the early 80’s. For all the Russophobia abound in foreign policy discussions lately, it’s lighthearted fare.
