We Lose Again is the third single from experimental art rock band Gold Dime's third album, No More Blue Skies. The album came out in late 2023 through No Gold, a new imprint from Angus Andrew from Liars. The song is a dark and nervy piece which comes with a well made, moody and cinematic visual, directed by Alyse Lamb.
Gold Dime make great use of a dark post punk aesthetic combined with atmospheric art rock. With its melancholic sound design and dramatic moments, the single evokes a sense of introspection and acceptance of life's unpredictability, and sounds like a brief and intimate avant-noir rock opera. Lyrically, it addresses regret, letting go of the past, and moving on.
Band leader, drummer and vocalist Andrya Ambro comments on the track: "The song, already full of its own cinematic wonder, was the perfect vehicle to spin a grotesque video narrative that's on the verge of a really bad dream."
The song serves as a compelling introduction to the entire album's thematic depth, its unpredictability and overarchingly artful approach which resonates through its moodiness, and stands out for its experimental makings.
