For The Rabbits premieres Loose Wing's "Capital Alphabet," which displays the Seattle quartet's "gritty take on indie pop"

SINGLE PREMIERE

Sam at For The Rabbits totally getting it about the new Loose Wing single "Capital Alphabet," saying:

"Loose Wing seem to be asking questions that really cut close to the bone. Claire Tucker’s own take on 'contemporary humanity' isn’t a scathing takedown, it’s an arm around the shoulder, a question asked, can we change things? Can we be better to one another? And when she sings it with such beauty and gusto, it’s hard not to believe for the duration of a three-minute pop song that anything is possible."

I mean, YES!

Seattle-based foursome Loose Wing to issue "Miracle Baby" follow-up to 2019 debut album on Nov. 10, 2023

NEWS

Legendary journalist Greil Marcus stays true to his reputation as a scholar of modern rock’s intersection with rock history when noting in a 2019 Rolling Stone column that “some of the same dirt rubbed off” in regard to how Seattle foursome Loose Wing picked up mess from fellow Emerald City singer Merilee Rush, best-known for her 1968 hit “Angel of the Morning.”

Loose Wing hasn’t cleaned up completely since its critically praised debut album — “Loose Wing are serving as an example that the area’s still got it,” says UPROXX. Instead the band, led by songwriter Claire Tucker, has further focused its pounding and present sound via the upcoming Miracle Baby (Nov. 10, Drums & Wires Recordings.)

Uproxx praises the debut album by Loose Wing

SONG POST

“Seattle has produced an unquantifiable amount of outstanding indie rock, and now Loose Wing are serving as an example that the area’s still got it. The Seattle group channels early R.E.M. vibes with the guitar sound on “Moving Blankets,” and they show off their versatility with some smartly incorporated strings on “Beverly.”

Loose Wing shares next single from debut album with The Big Takeover

PREMIERE

Big Takeover Magazine on "Moving Blankets" by Loose Wing: "Sweet guitar chime rings out from the start and is equaled by Tucker’s emotive vocals. Her stark, but vivid lyrics contrast against the bright sonics, low-end bass line, and punchy drum beat, while the song swells midway and to the end with a rise of symphonic strings."

Seattle's Loose Wing to release self-titled debut album March 22nd

NEWS

Loose Wing is a new Seattle-based band fronted by songwriter Claire Tucker. The four-piece group will issue its self-titled debut album on March 22nd, consisting of nine songs that fearlessly explore themes of anxiety, isolation, intimacy, and teen angst that has yet to be outgrown. Despite the weighty subject matter, Tucker’s tunes maintain an easy confidence throughout the album, with melodies that often remind of a Neko Case or PJ Harvey-fronted R.E.M., which despite that band’s origins in the furthest continental corner (Athens, GA) from the home of grunge, has always maintained a spiritual tie to Seattle. Other contemporary influences on Loose Wing include Kate Bush and Guided by Voices.
