"I mean, it’s about aliens, but it’s also about feeling like when shit’s hitting the fan."
Melbourne outfit LOSER have shared another taste of their forthcoming second album via fresh track Skyward and its accompanying “alien-infused” video.
Taken from September 10 release All The Rage, the new single was recorded by the band in their newly launched Restless Noise Studios before Anton Hagop (Silverchair, Powderfinger) mixed it.
“I hope there’s something on this album that people feel like they can relate to," bassist Craig Selak said.
“Even a song like Skyward– I mean, it’s about aliens, but it’s also about feeling like when shit’s hitting the fan, you can step out and just focus on yourself… I think that’s the overarching theme of the album: you don’t have to step away and hide from the world, you can look within and find something that makes you feel more comfortable.
“And that really sums up the personal growth we all went through in trying to record this album, learning not to overthink things, and Tim [Maxwell, vocals]’s personal journey with his mental health over the pandemic."
Featuring lead single On The Edge, All The Rage follows on from the band’s 2020 Australian Music Prize-nominated album Mindless Joy.
