A Lounge Supreme

Released in 2011, A Lounge Supreme continues Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine's long-running project of 'lounge-ifying' popular music. While earlier albums focused heavily on 90s alternative and nu-metal, this record captures a specific cultural snapshot of the early 2010s, tackling viral hits like Rebecca Black's 'Friday' and Far East Movement's 'Like a G6.' The album is notable for its high production values, moving beyond simple novelty to deliver genuine swing and big-band arrangements. The inclusion of tracks like 'Killing in the Name' serves as a callback to the artist's roots in subverting aggressive political anthems. Critically, it is regarded as one of the more polished entries in the Cheese discography, showcasing a refined chemistry between Cheese and his backing band. It remains a staple of the 'lounge-core' subgenre, bridging the gap between comedy and traditional vocal jazz.
