New single is a surefire summer indie hit.

Sometimes, you just know when you’re onto a winner. And sometimes, when you write that winner, you give it an incredibly ironic title.

If you haven’t wrapped your ears around indie outfit KARMS yet, you almost definitely will soon — whether it’s here or on mainstream radio stations in time for Summer. The band’s latest single, We Always Lose, is a delicious slice of infectious indie-pop with jagged guitar tones and jovial rhythms. Reinforced with a hard-hitting singalong chorus and an even more chant-inspiring bridge, this is the kind of song that every indie band will dream of writing when they start out. It’s the kind that is built for repeated daytime radio airplay and a perfect fit for sun-kissed festival slots, which is almost undoubtedly in store for the band that packs as big a punch as this.
