Make Friends Releases New Song “I Lose, You Lose”
Bristol-based indie pop band Make Friends, consisting of Tom Andrew (vocals, bass), David Thomas (guitar), Connor Crabb (guitar) and Max Lewin (drums), released the fourth and final pre-release single called “I Lose, You Lose” from their upcoming EP “Loaded Fun” on August 15, 2024.
The EP is due out on September 13, 2024 via Ignition Records.
The band first performed the song during their live show in London last month.
The song delves into the mutual sadness shared by two individuals ending their connection.
Juxtaposed by its sprightly, effervescent indie-pop stylings, the song's pulsating opening mirrors the emotional turmoil of separation, culminating in a mellower conclusion, symbolising the peace in the understanding that sometimes, there are no victors.
The track was written by Connor Crabb, David Thomas, Ed Nash, Maximillian Lewin, and Thomas Andrew. Produced by Ed Nash.- The band said of the song, “I Lose, You Lose is a song about losing (shock)! The lyrics take you on a journey through anxiety and realisation that actually the person you're with, wasn't all you thought they were. The songs upbeat verses and build sections, symbolises that feeling of losing control over your thoughts, running through every situation that may have lead you to this breakup conclusion. But alas, you found solace in this breakup. Knowing you did all you could. That constant fact in your mind... “If I lose you, you lose me”. And somehow that made me feel better.”

The EP comprises 5-track, produced by London-based indie rock band Bombay Bicycle Club's Ed Nash.
The band said of the EP, “These past two years have really been about exploring and experimenting with our writing and production. We've been writing a ton, and along the way, we've noticed our sound evolving into something we're really excited about. We wanted the new material to feel fresh to us while still capturing the spirit and energy of our influences. Having the chance to work with Ed has been a big part of that. From a writing and production point of view, it's been really enjoyable and fruitful for how we've developed. 'Loaded Fun' is a culmination of that time spent.”
