This Is Lorelei’s Nate Amos has worked with Snail Mail’s Lindsey Jordan to reimagine another song from Box for Buddy, Box for Star. “Two Legs (Snail Mail Version)” will appear alongside MJ Lenderman’s rendition of “Dancing in the Club” on a forthcoming expanded edition of Amos’ 2024 album. Listen to the new song below.
“When the idea of a deluxe edition with covers/collabs first came up the literal first thought I had was ‘I gotta get Lindsey to sing Two Legs,’” Amos said in a press statement. “I’ve loved Snail Mail ever since Water From Your Eyes had a chance to tour with them so it was a joy to hear Lindsey bless the song like this.”
Jordan added, “Within the last few years, following Nate’s projects, I have come to the conclusion he is the best songwriter of our generation as well as a great guy. Getting to do vocals on this was such a treat because I got to listen to it over and over again.”
Box for Buddy, Box for Star (Deluxe) is out this Friday, April 25. Along with Jordan and Lenderman’s contributions, the record also features a new version of “Angel’s Eye,” courtesy of Amos’ father and sister.
