NEW RELEASE
Loose Buttons

Sundays
January 13, 2017

unnamedLoose Buttons debuted new track, “Am I The Only Reason”, off of their upcoming Sunday’s EP.

“The days, weeks, and months that follow a breakup are not unlike the aftermath of an explosion: There are piles of physical and emotional debris to sift through, everything’s lost its order, and the trauma will permanently mess with your head in profound ways. It’s never an easy time sanity-wise, but thankfully New York indie rockers Loose Buttons have something of a remedy for those struggling to survive the relationship blues; the band describes their upcoming EP, Sundays, as “the ultimate guide to a relationship comedown.”

This latest release deals specifically with the moment when all the smoke and haze has finally lifted, clarity settles in, and the real soul-searching begins. “Am I the Only Reason?” sees Loose Buttons looking in the mirror and asking whether they are the ones to blame for the split. It’s a tricky line of questioning that can quickly devolve into a lot of tears of regret, but it’s necessary for closure, and well, a good exercise in accountability if you truly did fudge things up in the end.

As though reaching an epiphany, the four-piece is ushered in by glimmering, wistful guitars. Frontman Eric Nizgretsky, in his best Alex Turner suit, is irresistibly sincere when he croons the track’s title during the chorus, his voice stretching to meet his ex. His bandmates back him up with smooth vocals of their own, and a vintage ’60s touch that puts them on par with the likes of Turner’s The Last Shadow Puppets or a perhaps a cameo on That Thing You Do!

Check out their song and let us know what you think!
