Chapel of Roses, the Nashville-based post-punk band that captured college radio waves in the mid-80s, is back with their third single of the year, “Lose Control.” This shimmering track blends indie rock, indie pop, and dream pop into a lush soundscape that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. With an EP on the horizon, “Lose Control” gives fans a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come.
A Track Steeped in Atmosphere
“Lose Control” is a masterclass in mood and melody, delivering ethereal guitar riffs, layered instrumentation, and hauntingly emotive vocals from lead singer Chris Kelley. The song captures the push and pull of letting go, both musically and thematically, making it an immersive listening experience for fans of dreamy, atmospheric indie rock.
The Legacy of Chapel of Roses
Chapel of Roses first made waves in Nashville’s music scene with their single “Chapel of Roses” in the 1980s, earning local acclaim on WRVU college radio. Though the band broke up shortly after, the members continued creating music independently, with Chris Kelley spending two decades overseas before reuniting with the band in 2020.
Their first single in 40 years, “Cast out to Sea,” signaled a triumphant return earlier this year, and now “Lose Control” solidifies their presence in the contemporary indie scene. Despite their long hiatus, Chapel of Roses seamlessly bridges their post-punk roots with a modern sound that’s right at home among today’s indie rock heavyweights.
A Prelude to Their Upcoming EP
As the band prepares for their new EP, “Lose Control” serves as both a standalone statement and a prelude to their next chapter. The track’s dreamlike quality paired with its indie rock edge makes it a perfect addition to playlists for fans of acts like Beach House, The National, and Cocteau Twins.
