It's been a patient wait, but Sydney's beloved trio Mansionair have finally unveiled their latest offering, 'Lose Yourself Again', and it's a tune that grabs you from the first beat. Coming three years after their sophomore effort, 'Happiness, Guaranteed', this new single marks a thrilling shift for the band, diving headfirst into an expansive electronic soundscape that's both intricate and utterly compelling.
'Lose Yourself Again' is a masterful blend of subtle textures and powerful rhythms, a track that demands your full attention. It's a sonic journey into a realm where contrasting elements coexist harmoniously – light and dark, calm and chaos. The beauty of it lies in its ability to be simultaneously introspective and a full-throttle club anthem. This isn't just background music; it's an invitation to shed your inhibitions and get lost in the moment.
The band themselves have shed some light on the inspiration behind the track, explaining, “‘Lose Yourself Again’ was inspired by the idea of losing yourself to find yourself, about being on the precipice of something real and meaningful, you’re just not quite sure where to find it, yet you feel its gravitational pull. It’s an ode to the moments in our lives where we find the present moment.” This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the track's magnetic pull.
To celebrate this new chapter, Mansionair are treating fans to an exclusive, intimate gig at a secret warehouse location in Sydney's Inner West. This promises to be a deep dive into their discography, along with a sneak peek at fresh material from their upcoming release. As the band puts it, “This next chapter feels really special to us. We wanted to create a night that captures the energy of the new music, in a space that feels raw, authentic and alive. We're looking forward to performing our new songs as well as DJing at the after party with some of dear friends." It’s an exciting prospect for anyone eager to experience their new sound live.
With a staggering 377 million Spotify streams already under their belt, Mansionair have a history of crafting infectious hits. From their breakout 'Hold Me Down' to the ARIA Gold-certified 'Easier' and 'Astronaut (Something About Your Love)', and even their Grammy-nominated collaboration 'Line Of Sight' with ODESZA, their influence is undeniable. They've graced major festival stages like Coachella and Lollapalooza, and their recent Sahā Set, a dynamic DJ/live hybrid, has only heightened anticipation for what’s next. After some time exploring individual projects, Mansionair are back with a renewed vigour and a clear vision. 'Lose Yourself Again' is more than just a single; it's a statement of intent. Get ready to surrender to it.
