ALT-ROCKERS TIMELOST SHARE NEW CLAYMATION MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIRD SINGLE “WET J” — WATCH
NEW ALBUM DRAINED, OUT IN TWO WEEKS! FEBRUARY 23 VIA CHURCH ROAD RECORDS
Today, Philadelphia alt-rock/grunge band Timelost have shared the third and final single “Wet J” before the release of their new album Drained, out 2/23 via Church Road Records. The album is set to bring joy to fans old and new with its energetic blend of garage rock and nostalgic nod to the alternative rock sounds of the 90’s.
In addition to the song the band has shared a claymation music video done by the album artist Perry Coker. Watch it here.
“Wet J is about the frustrations of continuously falling into the same mistakes. Wanting to give up and just be left alone to wallow in our own failures. We tried to portray this continuous beating of life with the beautifully made claymation / stop-motion video by Perry Coker (who also did our album art!). Our new album Drained drops in 2 weeks!” – vocalist/guitarist Shane Handal.
Pre-order Drained here.
Born out of a dispersed network of friends collaborating digitally, Timelost has undergone a remarkable evolution since their inception. The band has since found its footing in a sound that pays homage to the great alternative rock bands of the past while incorporating a contemporary influence.
Drained represents the latest chapter in Timelost’s musical pilgrimage. Recorded and mixed by the skilled hands of fellow Philadelphian Scoops Dardaris (known for his work with Prince Daddy & The Hyena, They Are Gutting A Body Of Water, Another Michael), the album boasts a rich and dynamic production that brings the band’s sound to new heights. Mastered by Matt Poirier, a luminary in the field whose portfolio includes The War On Drugs, The National, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
With influences reminiscent of iconic bands like Wavves, Weezer, and Dinosaur Jr, Timelost invites listeners to embark on a journey through the raw, unapologetic energy of Drained. The album’s tracks, laden with infectious hooks and introspective lyrics, weave a narrative that reflects the band’s growth and exploration of new musical territories.
About the album, Handal says “Drained is about the continuous beating of life. The state of the world, personal responsibilities, socializing, being in a band, all of it just being exhausting and wanting to burn it down or run away.
We originally wrote 7 songs and it felt tired and too similar to our previous stuff, so we dropped almost all of them and started new. We leaned into a more simple and fun approach to songwriting and ended up writing 18 songs over 2+ years. Drained is the best 10.”
