Loser’s Way Home communicate from beyond the grave with video for “Place of No Return.”
The Arizona-based quartet’s sonically adventurous Americana has a refined quality about it that transcends the rough edges often associated with other indie folk acts. Multiform harmonies and adept fingerpicking support their often elaborate storytelling that ranges from biblical first person narratives to unrequited love songs told by ghosts from beyond the veil.
The melodious and melancholy “Place of No Return” is one such tale which principle songwriter Randall Downs describes as “a fictional song about an individual living in a haunted house.” The twist here is that unlike most otherworldly visitations, this particular entity is not interested in haunting its new friend, preferring to strike up therapeutic conversations about the past. “The apparition has terminal nostalgia,” Downs reflects. “He is always regaling the resident with songs of his glory years.”
The video for “Place of No Return” was shot in their home state of Memphis by the band’s good friend Zach Seal. The song will be available on their new EP, “Love Songs for the Rest of Us,” due out July 22nd.
