New Album In The Crowd Releases September 26th, 2025
Charlottetown, P.E.I. trio Absolute Losers return with “At The Same Time,” releasing August 19th, the first single from their forthcoming album In The Crowd, out September 26, 2025 via Having Fun Records, the latest imprint from Toronto’s We Are Busy Bodies. Recorded with producer Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck) at Palace Sound in Toronto, the new record sees the band pushing into more expansive and emotionally raw territory than ever before.
Where their 2023 debut At The Mall was scrappy and intimate, recorded in a basement during lockdown, In The Crowd is ambitious, widescreen, and built for volume. The band spent long, immersive days in the studio with Walsh, who also engineered and mixed the record. “At The Same Time” is a shining example of what came out of those sessions: a dynamic and tender track rooted in memory, nostalgia, and loss, driven by synth-bass textures, poetic imagery, and expressive, locked-in performances from all three members.
The song draws from bassist/vocalist Sam Langille’s memories of summers spent at his grandparents’ cottage in Flat River, Prince Edward Island, where he and his brother, bandmate and guitarist Josh Langille, would dig for worms, fish for trout, and listen to their grandfather’s stories of growing up in a post-war boat-building town. “A lot of people can relate to feeling some kind of magic when they’re with their grandparents,” says Sam. “This place was definitely magical as a kid.”
There’s a quiet ache beneath the shimmer. Both grandparents have passed, and the song becomes a bridge across generations, a way to stay connected through the act of remembering. “Even though I’ve outgrown that part of life, I know my family still cheers me on,” says Sam. “Now they’re cheering me on for moving out, getting a job, releasing music. The cheering is just more felt than shouted.”
Absolute Losers will support In The Crowd with a run of Canadian tour dates in August, followed by a special UK headline show at The Strongroom Bar in London on September 16. “At The Same Time” is available on all streaming platforms now.
