RELEASED through their very own Eggman Records, Shambolics have shared a new single called ‘Losing Your Mind’.
Having built a reputation for their shimmering and infectious brand of indie-pop, this new single shows their darker and heavier side. Opening in meditative fashion with evocative lyrics and ominous melodies, it takes off at around the halfway mark with soaring choruses and thrashing guitars.
“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.”
Set to hit the road in April and May, they play a sold out show at Glasgow’s SWG3 on 20th May.
“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.”
