For
me, her best track in terms of pure song-craft was ‘Tennis Court’, and I think
this superb cover by Brisbane-based producer Danny Harley – aka The Kite String
Tangle – hammers that point home. It’s one thing to offer up a cover when the
original has already had its day, but quite something else to do so while it’s still
so high profile and fresh. Of course it helps that Harley has a great voice and
is a unique talent in his own right, and I look forward to hearing more from
The Kite String Tangle.

Random 30 2013: The Kite String Tangle - Tennis Court (Lorde)
2013
was a huge breakthrough year for local artist Lorde, something further underlined
(in bold) earlier this week when the teenage songstress received four Grammy
nominations. I enjoyed her cover version of the Replacements’ ‘Swingin’ Party’,
and thought Pure Heroine was a promising enough debut album … but to be honest,
I think I can probably live happily enough without hearing ‘Royals’ ever again.
