Love Amongst Ruin is fronted by former Placebo drummer Steve Hewitt and the band releases its sophomore effort, Lose Your Way today, June 30 via Ancient B.

Lose Your Way is an album from an artist over the hump; head high to the future and all engines gunning. The title track is a dark, confident slab of rock noir at its finest ("I can't believe you killed the word of beauty," Steve wails like a suave rock Dave Gahan). The video is wracked with decay - food, flowers, paintings and buildings all decompose and crumble, only to be reborn with added life and energy. It's Love Amongst Ruin in a nutshell: a brilliant rejuvenation from the dust.

Yesterday, Substream Magazine debuted "Lose Your Way Revision", an alternate version of the title track.

"I was just in bed one evening and I had been thinking of some of the ideas I had recorded for B-sides after finishing the album," notes Hewitt on the birth of the track. "I hadn't done much with them but one of the ideas, a piano and drum groove called '1984' kept going around in my head. I then started thinking of 'Lose Your Way' and in my head both fit perfectly.

"The next day I got the files up and sat the vocals to 'Lose Your Way' on top of '1984' and it worked straight away. From there we added a few flavors, and that was that. All done in the name of experiment, really. It seemed more valid as a remix than anything else I had been hearing."

Listen to "Lose Your Way Revision" HERE and Embrace the Ruin.
