Shambolics release new single ‘Losing Your Mind’
Losing Your Mind
Shambolics have released their new single ‘Losing Your Mind’ on their own Eggman Records ahead of a long-awaited string of UK dates and their sold-out show at SWG3 in their adopted home-town of Glasgow.
The single is produced by regular collaborator Chris Marshall (Gerry Cinnamon / The Dunts / Baby Strange).
“Losing Your Mind is a song about struggle and survival, and things we’ve seen growing up where we’re from in Fife,” says guitarist and co-lead vocalist Darren Forbes.
“It tells the stories of numerous characters we’ve known along the way and the things they do just to get by. Sometimes it feels like an achievement just to make it from one day to the next without losing your mind.”
Losing Your Mind comes with an evocative lyric video, a collaboration with legendary Glasgow photographer Brian Anderson, whose black and white reportage images of city life in all its guises brings an extra poignancy to the song as it builds to an anthemic peak.
“Everything we do revolves around the live performance and how a song we write will go down with the crowd,” says Darren.
“We love experimenting and being creative in the studio, but that’s only half the story for us. Our shows are a collective experience so if a song gets people going mad at a gig then we’ve got a winner. We’re like the cheerleaders but the crowd brings the energy we need to perform at our best. The bigger the crowd, the more energy there is for us to feed off. We’re so excited to get back out on the road.”
