Make Friends – “I Lose, You Lose”
Make Friends brings us their latest with “I Lose, You Lose.” The band is a group of friends who started out six years ago, inspired by indie-dance punk of Foals and Bombay Bicycle Club. The track itself is a tight mix of keys, drums, bass, and guitar with the rhythm section doing a lot of the heavy lifting and driving the track forward. The vocals are appropriately treated as another instrument; falling mostly in an upbeat, singsong, falsetto-adjacent range.
The beats are undeniable and you can help but at *least* bop your head along, if not break out into dance. Fans of Hot Hot Heat or of Montreal would find a lot to enjoy here, as would anyone with ears.
You can hear “I Lose, You Lose” on the band’s Soundcloud, Spotify, or the YouTube embed down below. I won’t spoil if it’s an actual actual music video, so I’ll let you figure that out.
