Lo! Peninsula - Super Glue (Cover) from the 2023 self-released album The Resurrection Of The Princess Of Woe And Her Vampire Hound Posse.

Lo! Peninsula is a shoegaze/dreampop trio from Imphal, India that first caught the ears of KEXP\\u2019s John Richards and his producer Owen Murphy back in 2018 with their debut full-length AKA Lo Peninsula. Murphy interviewed the band that year about making music in a conflict-torn area and their DIY recording process. Since then, they\\u2019ve only released less than a handful of singles but recently returned with \\u201cSuper Glue.\\u201d

The song is a cover of Indian noise-rockers Hoirong\\u2019s 2013 original and appears on a covers album made in celebration of the tenth anniversary of Hoirong\\u2019s debut album The Reincarnation of The Princess of Woe and Her Vampire Hound Posse. Titled The Resurrection of The Princess of Woe and Her Vampire Hound Posse, the album sees contributions from Indian bands like Pacifist, Disco Puppet, Mr. INDIA, and Audrey.

Hoirong\\u2019s version of \\u201cSuper Glue\\u201d is a lo-fi affair with screeching warbles and fuzzed-out guitars while frontman Kamal Singh melodramatically sings, \\u201cSlowly comes an asshole and he looks so good /Slowly you become my menstruation /Funny how you try to be the super glue.\\u201d The original is so good that it\\u2019s a nerve-wracking undertaking to cover. Instead of trying to mimic, Lo! Peninsula wraps the song in a sheeny haze, taking \\u201cSuper Glue\\u201d to new heights.
