“Loveless” is the debut single from L.A. duo La Bouquet (not to be confused with L.A. duo Bouquet), the new collaboration between Bryan Sammis (the original drummer for the Neighbourhood) and Jake Lopez (ex-Sink Swim). Sammis delved into alt-pop and released solo EPs in 2014 and ’15 under the name Olivver the Kid, but his new partnership with longtime friend and collaborator Lopez finds the duo mining the post-punk-inspired pop of the ’80s. Arching but melancholy, “Loveless” is the first taste of an album La Bouquet has in the works. And, says Sammis, it “was the second to last song we wrote on the record after my ex broke up with me in New York after tour.”
