Judging by the video for the Birmingham quartet's most recent release, Peace are a band who aren't taking their reputation as B-town's most thoroughbred too seriously. Out of all the post-'In Love' releases Peace have graced us with so far, this is by far the most eighties-resonant with an undeniable Adam and the Ants inspired intro and plenty of "ahh-ahh's." However, this track also seems to be the most commercialized of the three. Although the video seems to ironically poke fun at manufactured major label artists, 'Lost on Me' sounds as if its sole purpose is to appeal to the masses, differing significantly from the brashness of 'Follow Baby' and the groovy hooks of 'Wraith' and 'Bloodshake' back in the day.
Don't get me wrong, 'Lost on Me' isn't a particularly bad effort. Peace are still as sassy as ever and the high pitched falsetto section in the hook is ridiculously infectious. Who knows how Peace's sophomore effort will end up?
