The Beautiful Losers - A Little Bits Better Than Nothing

tbl_sm cover

Four Corners of a Tiny Planet” is the brand new album from Middle-Eastern influenced folk rockers The Beautiful Losers. Formed in Tokyo, Japan by Indo-Canadian Raj Ramayya and San Francisco native Brett Boyd, successful professional songwriters and session musicians in the Japanese music scene, the pair had gained a name for themselves for penning tunes for anime classics like “Cowboy Bebop” and “Wolf’s Rain”. They’ve also penned work for games like Biohazard, TV commercials for Toyota BB and Asahi Beer as well as club music tracks for iTunes chart toppers Studio Apartment, Captain Funk and many others.

Relocating to the San Francisco bay area while maintaining a fan base in Japan and touring internationally, The Beautiful Losers have opened for major acts such as Coldplay, Indigo Girls, and Matt Nathanson as well as having songs placed on several MTV reality shows like “Real Life Stories” and various independent movies. They’ve also featured on San Francisco’s #1 AC radio station KFOG’s local scene CD, Alice radio emerging artists showcase, Amnesty International’s "Rock for Human Rights", the NARAS "Grammy Showcases" among others.

And it’s easy to why lady success has been so kind to the due, “Four Corners of a Tiny Planet” screams of numerous qualities in so many different ways; all astounding. From the husking folk intro of Peaceful Buddhist Warrior through to the rock-infused Young Peruvians, the subtle swing and guitar-layered Yeh Dosti, culminating in their wondrous cover of The Beatles classic Across The Universe, the duo have succeeded in creating multiply layered tracks of warm alt-folk wonder that, while rich in grooves and easy chorus’s, extends itself comfortably into world music and traditional acoustic-based rock. Put simply, it’s amazing.

Suitable for the traditional music lover and the budding muso, The Beautiful Losers have created a fantastic album that touches all the right bases and ticks all the correct boxes. It croons, husks and moves in all the right ways and is guaranteed to please fans of Jeff Buckley, Fleetwood Mac and Ravi Shanker quite easily. Take a journey with the eccentric duo; it could be just what you’re looking for.
