I stumbled upon Transfer recently while checking out free Amazon.com MP3s. Here was something of value, yet I could sample it for free! Sounding like the best elements of bands I like this song drew me in and provided hooks my ears found pleasing.
Upon further investigation I discovered Transfer hails from San Diego. The self-released Future Selves came out in November. They received an 8.0/10 review from PopMatters for the album. The band's site states 'Losing Composure' refers to schizophrenia:
"It was originally inspired by delirium tremens: the condition where the symptoms of severe withdrawl from alcohol cause major hallucinations. I thought of someone that had such an intense hallucination he felt he was sent on a government mission to collect information from an unexplored planet and save the earth. The person I imagined gradually lost his mind over time and this particular trip was his grand maul meltdown."
Based on the songs I've heard so far Transfer is a band to watch. Check them out and let me know what you think!
