Last Order / Borrowed Satin

by Ruby Delacroix

A two-song single pairing a late-night food stall closing up with a love song sung in borrowed satin.

Liner notes

A friend came back from a trip abroad with a story about the last order at a hawker stall, and I couldn't leave it alone. The flip side is for every wedding I've sung at in a dress that wasn't mine. We cut both in an afternoon and pressed a few hundred, mostly for the night-shift crowd who kept asking.
