In a press release, Ament commented on Fitz’s production choices saying, “There’s a real optimism in this batch of mostly dystopian themes, and that comes from John’s upbeat production and playing,” explains Ament. “He infused a lot of pop and reggae elements into the songs, pushing my arrangements and rhythms into new territory. Most of these tunes had real journeys between our two visions.”

“Losing My Mind” is an upbeat pop record experimenting with both psychedelic rock and reggae to create a fusion fitting for its summer release. Remaining high energy for a majority of the song’s duration, the track’s bridge slows down into a steady, organ-driven instrumental before switching back to the song’s original pace and riding out with its addictive chorus.

Along with their forthcoming project, the band will embark on a five-stop tour with nine shows total across the Midwest kicking off on August 31st in St. Paul, MN.
