Coilguns Unveil First “Odd Love”‘s B-Side “Nightshifter” from the previously unreleased companion EP ” Lost Love”
Coilguns released “Nighshifter” a first B-Side issued from the same recording sessions as their fourth album, Odd Love (released November 22nd 2024). This extract is the first one to be released from a two-track EP, “Lost Love”, a pair of songs that were considered too dark for the “Odd Love” album.
This frozen-tempo, low-tuned angst-drenched track shows Coilguns at their saddest. They share their experience of the archetypal downside of life as a touring musician: returning home alone and tired after weeks on the road, losing sight of the meaning of it all. Like many of their peers, they are familiar with the toll that a career in a band takes on personal lives, relationships, and health. Despite its hopeless vibe, this song is intended as a way to exorcise and accept this aspect of their fate, allowing them to move forward. A kind of prophylactic catharsis to help them to keep focusing on what matters most: keeping the band rolling.
Carefully produced by Californian engineer and musician Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City), these four minutes of noise are a perfect example of what Evans’s own “Sad Dude Core” recipe is good for: draining the pain away.
As singer Louis Jucker says:
“Anyone who has been on tour has experienced this at least once: the tour is over, it’s late at night, you’re standing in front of your apartment door trying to find your keys in a bag full of stench. No one’s home and your fridge is empty, except maybe for that poor limp carrot you forgot there when you left. Better wine a bit, embrace the despair, sleep a bit, do your laundry and start writing new songs”.
“Nightshifter” will be available on all streaming platforms on August 22nd.
Get ready to experience the saddest side of Coilguns, captured in its rawest form by Scott Evans’s unique craftmanship.
Odd Love has put the band back on the road with more than 80 dates in 2025, including their first trip to North America. They will perform ten dates in Mexico, where they will officially release and exclusively present their new EP ” Lost Love”.
