CMU Approved
Approved: Losers – Beautiful Losers
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 5 August 2010
DJ Eddy Temple-Morris and former Cooper Temple Clause man Tom Bellamy, aka Losers, say that they wanted their debut album, released on Gung-Ho! Recordings next month, to be a ‘classic dance’ album, with a sound that wouldn’t date. Of course, it’s too early to say if they’ve managed that, but the Prodigy and Soulwax-influenced sounds contained within the record certainly hint that they could have succeeded.
Tracks like last single ‘Flush’, with the back-and-forth rhyming of Enzy and Riz MC, and the Massive Attack-esque epic of ‘Azan’ really stand out, as does the closing cover of Jane’s Addiction’s ‘Summertime Rolls’, with vocals from Placebo’s Brian Molko. But overall, it’s not just a collection of tracks, it’s a complete album, bringing to mind those big LPs of the 90s from the likes of The Prodigy, Leftfield, and Underworld with a sound that’s still relevant to the 21st century.
You can stream the album in full now on SoundCloud.
