L.A. rock duo Loveless let it all out on new single ‘Drag Me Down’.
Today’s brand-new release comes off the back of the band’s sold-out North American tour and appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago.
Comprised of vocalist and producer Julian Comeau and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Tirapelli-Jamail also gearing up to hit the road in Australia, Europe and the UK – more details and tickets for which can be found on their site.
‘Drag Me Down’ is a cathartic release of a tune and follows the band’s recent single ‘I Hope I’m Not Sick’.
Have a listen via its video below.
Explaining the track’s origin and complex emotional meaning, Comeau has shared:
“‘Drag Me Down’ is about how in my head I get with every relationship I’ve ever been in. I feel like I’m a hopeless romantic, but with my own struggles with anxiety and my perceptions of myself, I never feel like I’m enough for my partners. I always push people away and find a reason to leave, even with the people I love the most.”
“Our songs don’t often resolve, musically or lyrically, but it was a deliberate decision for this song.
“There’s a lot of hesitation in the lyrics, this feeling of being dragged down by my own imposter syndrome and finally realizing, at the apex of the song, that I’d rather face the down moments with you than without.”
Whilst ‘I Hope I’m Not Sick’ was Loveless’ latest single prior to ‘Drag Me Down’, they featured on the opening title track for The Word Alive’s recent ‘Hate Me’ EP.
