Throughout their lifespan as a band, The Lone Bellow have cast an indelible spell with their finespun songs of hard truth and unexpected beauty, frequently delivered in hypnotic three-part harmony. In a departure from their past work with elite producers like Aaron Dessner of The National and eight-time Grammy-winner Dave Cobb, the Nashville-based trio struck out on their own for their new album Love Songs for Losers, dreaming up a singular sound encompassing everything from arena-ready rock anthems to the gorgeously sprawling Americana tunes the band refers to as “little redneck symphonies.” Recorded at the possibly haunted former home of the legendary Roy Orbison, the result is an intimate meditation on the pain and joy and ineffable wonder of being human, at turns heartbreaking, irreverent, and sublimely transcendent.

lyrics

How could you rob me blind
When I thought I was a navigator
I thought I could read the signs
You were sending up flares
Red and gold everywhere
I remember my hand
Thinking I had a chance
Reaching out for a dance
In the fiery air

Now I can’t afford
The cost of this living
Your love was a luxury you took from me
This poverty has made me so broken
And I can’t afford the cost of living
If you don’t pay me no attention

I don’t know what grows
From these tears that hit the ground
No shoulder to cry on
No comfort in the sound

And I can’t afford
The cost of this living
Your love was a luxury you took from me
This poverty has made me so broken
And the debt of this loss
Too heavy to mention
Now I can’t afford the cost of living
If you don’t pay me no attention

And I can’t afford
The cost of this living
Your love was a luxury you took from me
This poverty has made me so broken
And the debt of this loss
Too heavy to mention
Now I can’t afford the cost of living
If you don’t pay me no attention

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
