There is something cinematic about listening to The Dears, but also something so personal that it would probably piss you off if you ever heard it on a film soundtrack cast behind someone else's imagery.

Gang Of Losers is the latest release from the Montreal band that won many people's love with their 2004 album No Cities Left. With their trademark melancholy the album shows unrest in both the stripped-backed sound and the socio-political lyrics, while pop fence-posts such as ‘There Goes My Outfit' and ‘Ballad of Humankindness' combine the group's humour and humanity.

Although follow-ups to favourite albums usually take a little longer to get used to Gang Of Losers seems to be worth moving on for. Lead singer Murray Lightburn claims that the album is the ‘best work we've ever done', and if given a few more up close and personal moments with the record, we could very well agree.
