In this latest edition of The Last Mixed Tape’s song-of-the-week feature The Mixed-Tape we turn our attention to Thumper and their latest single ‘The Loser’.
The crumbling contorted lo-fi sound of ‘The Loser’ marks the return of noise-pop outfit Thumper, whilst also providing us with our first glimpse into the group forthcoming third E.P. Pop! Goes The Weasel.
A song that eats itself alive, ‘The Loser’ takes the melodic hooks of Thumper’s songwriting and pelts them with a distortion that ultimately engulfs the entire record.

One response to “The Mixed-Tape | Thumper – The Loser”
[…] 10. Thumper – The Loser What TLMT had to say: “A song that eats itself alive, ‘The Loser’ takes the melodic hooks of Thumper’s songwriting and pelts them with a distortion that ultimately engulfs the entire record.” 9. Montauk Hotel – Sense of Place What TLMT had to say: “Sense of Place’ finds the self-styled shimmer-pop group delving further into their music and coming up with a fuller picture of their overall sound. The latest offering from Montauk Hotel works to establish the jangling, reverb-drenched flourishes that have become a key characteristic for the four-piece.” 8. Laoise – Rich What TLMT had to say: “‘Rich’ is a track filled with statements both in terms of songwriting and sound. Each beat, lyric and texture seems to have a deeper meaning to it, while Laoise weaves her now characteristic enchanting vocal around the widening production.” 7. Talos – In Time What TLMT had to say: “Glistening with a simply epic production aesthetic, and held together by hook-laden beats and captivating synth lines, the sound of ‘Contra’ is breath-taking. ” 6. Sorcha Richardson – Waking Life What TLMT had to say: “Quite possibly Richardson’s most accomplished and vivid records to date, ‘Waking Life’ pulses with an electronic backdrop and a lush production aesthetic.” […]
