“_Already the dreamiest piece of music to come out this year, the track blends psychedelic-
esque vocals, sultry guitars that soar as far as the stratosphere will let them 
and keys that keep building and never let up._” – **Play Too Much on “Lost in Translation”**

“_Sporting a fresh lyrical focus and refreshed instrumentation, this song [‘Fool
Anyone’] found new life as a critique of the sinister information warfare that is
quickly shaping our lives. Meanwhile, the accompanying video acts as a parody of
cheesy ‘90s infomercials, now with a modern twist._“
– **Under The Radar**

“_This [“Wake Up”] is a right bit of everything, a peculiar hybrid of pop classics
and envelope-pushing sounds that makes it sit way out there on its own._” – **We
Close Tonight**

“_Losers show us their full bag of tricks in only four songs, which is something
that not many bands do_.” – **Plastic Lizard**

“_An awesome slice of musical creativity that deserves to be heard._”** – Thinking
Lyrically**

“_Big – Losers have taken it to the next level_.”** – Zane Lowe**

“_A divine offering to the aural gods_.” – **DJ Shadow**

“_Powerful, intense Rock Music_.” – **Clash Magazine**

“_electronica-tinged-rock_” – **NME**

**Berlin-Based**

**LOSERS “Follow You”**

**AUGUST 16, 2021 (Berlin, Germany)** — Today, Berlin-based genre-defying band **
LOSERS** have unveiled their new music video “[**Follow You**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=ce862eb5fe&e=615f2b8493)”–
the last single/video taken off their new EP, [**_EP01_**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=c5ff365980&e=615f2b8493)(
release date: June 28, 2021). The music and lyrics to “Follow You” were written 
by guitarist/vocalist **Paul Mullen** and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist **Tom Bellamy**
back in 2015. Bellamy** **remembers, “Quite often in our process we would be working
on a piece of music and Paul would suddenly spring to the mic and try to guide a
vocal. Paul then came up with the ‘Follow You’ refrain and top line melody and instantly
it connected with us.” They spent some time over the course of a year, writing lyrics
that built up more imagery around that theme. “I love that part of the process,”
Bellamy says excitedly, “Filling in the blanks so to speak. It’s like finishing 
off a jigsaw puzzle (which I also love!). We ended up with something that really
felt special to me.”

Bellamy says that as a listener, his stance on the meaning of the “Follow You” lyrics
had originally seemed to morph over time because it conjured up “so much imagery.
For me as a listener, each time I listen to it, it brings a slightly different point
of view,” he adds. Right before the filming of the video, he stated that the track
was “a song about relationships. The relationship we have with ourselves, our friends
and family, and the world around us.” However, it wasn’t until after Bellamy filmed
the accompanying video that he started questioning the theme of relationship a lot
more deeply, adding that during the film making process he stumbled across something
beautiful, something that made him “stop in his tracks, that took their words and
gave the sentiment a whole new context.”    Bellamy has this to say about how the
final “Follow You” video came together…

_“The plan for the video was very simple; to take some footage of my daughter trying
to catch butterflies. Easy! I wanted to film her leading me to a field, looking 
really happy and in charge. The viewer would see her from the cameraman’s perspective
and literally be following her somewhere unknown._

_“Cut to the day of the shoot. It was getting near the end of a beautiful summer’s
day and my daughter was hot and tired and was not interested in performing for me.
She basically got fed up really quickly after realizing that she had been duped 
into performing instead of just being free and spontaneous, like every child wants
to be. I however had an agenda and was not being very compassionate. I wanted Instagram
perfection!… I was not going to get it because she was having a tantrum which meant
I probably didn’t even have enough footage to scrape together a half decent film._

_“When I got back home, I looked back at what I had shot and there wasn’t enough‘
happy’ footage to create the illusion I had dreamt up. Fail. And then something 
brilliant happened…_

_“On returning home, I suddenly remembered I had fastened my iPhone to my bike to
get some different angles. I began to watch back what this ‘fly on the wall’ had
recorded and immediately my disappointment transformed into joy. I had inadvertently
filmed myself, prancing around like a buffoon, trying to encourage my daughter to
do something that she didn’t want to do. This was reality, or at least a different
side to reality. A relatively different perspective. A different angle of the same
relationship. _

_“For a few minutes, I was able to step out of my shoes and see my relationship 
with my daughter as a witness. I could empathize with her. How often do we just 
see what we want to see? And how often do we really put ourselves in other people’s
shoes to think about how life might be perceived from their angle? How often do 
we misread situations and simply get the wrong end of the stick?_

_“So, beware of the prancing cameraman but remember that we were all once children
who just wanted to be free, looking to love and be loved and to connect with one
another. More now than ever, at a time when we all seem to be so polarized, it is
so important to stay open to other people’s points of view and not to get caught
up in our own beliefs and views._

_“If we could see everybody’s journey, everybody’s truth, from all angles, warts
and all, then I’m sure we would be much more willing to show compassion. So next
time a relationship might not be going how you want it to, allow empathy to take
the lead.”_

showcase Losers journey from the heavy and somberness of their past into the lighthearted
