Album Info

The Gentleman Losers
The product of the Finnish siblings Samu and Ville Kuukka, The Gentleman Losers have been making music together since their early teens, Samu and Ville revel in a sound that evokes tarnished grandeur - where decay and starry-eyed innocence rub shoulders with dusty strings and syrup-drenched instrumentation. After having released their self-titled critically acclaimed debut in 2006 on City Centre Offices' indie-offshoot "Büro", they return with their second full-length.

Dustland
If the band's debut was like a sneak-peak into their universe, "Dustland" breathes the air of more than confident self-assurance. More refined and more detailed, the new album sounds like a ballroom orchestra recorded inside a snow globe. Big songs compressed through the bottleneck of lo-fi genius. Meanwhile, the ballerina still dances. A seamless, deep journey into an unknown yet familiar world, packed with references still to become reality. 
From the opening track "Honey Bunch", which dances around a little guitar motif, backed up by horizon full of slide-airyness, to the tape-hiss driven "Silver Water Ripples". From "Lullaby Of Dustland", which is exactly that, to the dark drones of "Wind In Black Trees", or the 60s movie soundtrack-flavored harpsichord of "Farandole", with "Dustland" The Gentleman Losers deliver a fascinating, hypnotic second album. 
"The word cinematic is often used to describe our music. I suppose it's fitting, but it's a film genre that doesn't quite exist. It should, though!", muses Ville when asked about their sound. "It's about memories of things to come - faded souvenirs from a twilight place that no one has been to", adds Samu. "That place is called Dustland."
This is still true, more than ever.
