‘Lose My Mind’ is a liberating, drum-backed anthem that allows the band to break free from any stress or obligations in pursuit of a good night. The simple instrumentation using one guitar chord reflects the time period the song is based on–a time of innocence, simplicity, and growing up. Calling it “the most autobiographical song we have written,” Fernando Ferreira (vocals/guitar) says the track is “inspired by the nights we just wanna tune the world out. The times we need to escape reality. Not try to find yourself, not figure life out, not think about tomorrow. It’s about walking into the moments that turn into the nights we never forget.” Plus, as a touching callback to his youth, Ferreira used the first guitar his parents ever bought him on this track.

The accompanying video, directed by Ernie Vasquez and produced by Gustavo Lopez, follows the duo on a crazy, vibrant night out on the town. Shot on both iPhone and Super 8 mm film, Vasquez adds, “It was basically us going around Las Vegas in the middle of the night and capturing the lights and chaos all around. We shot parts of the music video on Super 8 mm film which gave it a unique look. Bela and Fernando also took an iPhone into clubs and bars to capture footage.”

Over five tracks, the duo blend alternative rock and indie pop to forge a path all their own, much like the trajectory of their own lives. Produced by Gavin Brown (Glorious Sons, Hoobastank, Metric, Billy Talent) and engineered by David Mohacsi, the band crafted a collection of five wide-ranging tracks where they experimented with varying sounds and styles like never before. It culminated in a hopeful body of work that rings true to themselves and how they were feeling the moment the music was created. The result is a cathartic release of every emotion that has stirred within them since the band’s inception. Fernando explains the current iteration of the band can be traced back to their roots. “It’s basically the latest version of the same band we started in our parents’ living room, so we’ve really just been on hiatus since elementary school.”

The band offers a new track from the project, ‘We’ll Be Fine.’ The song offers a sense of hope and encourages forgiveness for past mistakes and wasted time. Explaining how the song came about, Fernando explains, “We all live with the mistakes we’ve made. Maybe the tattoo you regret, the relationship you should have never been in, the words you should have said, what you should have not said, or maybe the time we’ve wasted.”

He continues,”‘We’ll Be Fine’ is about letting go of all of those things. I really believe that even when nothing around us makes sense, and as much of a mess as life may seem at times, for whatever reason, we are exactly where we are meant to be. There is a plan for us all.”

The accompanying cinematic music video, directed by Ernie Vasquez, follows a man who decides to walk away from his mundane life in search of something greater. Unbound to a nine to five, he attempts to truly discover freedom and independence. Fernando says, “We wanted this video to illustrate the freedom of letting go of these things that haunt us as we grow.”
