East Coast post-hardcore crew Lives Lost have dropped a new single and music video.
“Let Me Down Slowly” is a heavy take on Alec Benjamin’s hit single.
Opening up on the song choice, lead vocalist Tanis Pellegrini shares: “Once we got hold of Alec Benjamin’s Let Me Down Slowly and rewrote it part by part, it became our favorite cover to date.”
Pellegrini continues: “We recorded it with long time collaborator and friend Jeff McKinnon. Jeff is a bit of an unsung hero in the music industry in Pennsylvania right now. He has hands down the best mixes coming out of the area and it’s not even close. We hope everybody can feel the raw emotion of this song and vibe with us at a show soon.”
Formed in 2020 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Lives Lost exude an alluring hybrid of driving hard rock and emotive post-hardcore.
Nodding to the likes of Silverstein, Caskets and The Used, the young quartet explore love, loss and the human experience, with social issues and the growing pains of life at the forefront of their lyrical output.
Debut EP, 2023’s A Portrait of Loss, conceptualized these themes. The record takes listeners on a journey through the state of grieving, after the lead character loses a loved one.
New single “Champagne” kicked off a new year and a fresh release cycle for the Northeast crew. The accomplished instrumental interplay marries crushing percussion and riveting riffs, with a buoyant parlay of heavy and melodic that nods to some of the band’s most heralded contemporaries.
