BEST NEW TRACKS: CHLOE BLACK "27 CLUB"

Somewhere Lana Del Rey (Or is it Lizzy Grant?) is cursing herself for not writing or at least somehow getting full control over the best new track, "27 Club" by Chløë Black.

The Aussie songstress' debut single is a wonderfully dark ode to the legions of absurdly talented musicians who have passed at the age of 27. Along with sounding like an outtake from Born To Die, making your first song about a yearning to die young so you'll be remembered forever is a total-LDR move. "Gotta leave a nice corpse" is essentially Lana's calling card.

Now based out of London, Black has made a bold statement here, both artistically and sonically. I'm sure they'll be the usual hand-wringing over the glamorization of death, etc., but who actually gives a shit or has time for that mess? What's really upsetting and disturbing here is the lack of a Jeff Buckley shout-out. I mean, C'MON!?!?!

Seriously though, this is a great song that'll I'll be listening to on repeat at least through Halloween. Get your first taste of it below:
