‘Loser’ is the new Faces on TV single. Jasper had been flirting with eighties sounds recently, but this is an all-out love letter to the music of that infamous decade. ‘Loser’ will be on Faces on TV’s new EP, due this fall on Unday Records. We asked Jasper to tell you some more about it.
Strange times to be releasing a new song, knowing we won’t be playing it live until after the summer. I’m really looking forward to come out and play the new songs for you. Meanwhile, enjoy this song about getting yourself together and finally making the first move on the one you’ve fancied for a long time.
This track was the first one to give a real face to the EP I’m releasing later this year. The combination of a Linndrum and the slap bass was kind of an eyeopener for me. If I’m being honest, I hated this 80’s oriented kind of stuff until recently, but when I discovered the right side of my dad’s record collection (it’s arranged by year of release, not alphabetically), its plastic sounds made me feel nostalgic. I was thrown back to the time I was dancing to the DJ sets my dad played for me and my brother on Sunday afternoons in our living room.
