Last year, Scandanavian four-piece Hater came back with a new single, “Sift” after having to cancel a tour. It followed 2019 singles like “It’s A Mess” and “Four Tries Down,” which in turn followed 2018’s Siesta. Today they’re back with their first single of the year, “Bad Luck,” a stunning, bittersweet indie rock ballad similar to Turnover or Men I Trust.

“The song is about some kind of social awkwardness between myself and new faces,” bandleader Caroline Landahl said. “Feeling left out due to not knowing how to read a situation but also not wanting to know more than I should.”
