2 October 2026 – Josefin Öhrn and Anton Newcombe Lose Themselves in Warm Psychedelic Folk

Swedish artist Josefin Öhrn teams with Anton Newcombe on "Lose Yourself," a warm, tender track highlighted today as part of Öhrn's debut solo-album campaign. Newcombe's presence inevitably brings psychedelic associations, but "Lose Yourself" is interesting precisely because it does not treat collaboration as permission to pile every available sonic effect onto the arrangement.

Instead, the song leans toward indie folk, atmosphere and patient melodic development, giving Öhrn's voice room to carry the emotional weight. Moving into a solo identity after work associated with other projects can create an awkward temptation to announce independence by changing absolutely everything at once. "Lose Yourself" sounds more considered. Familiar psychedelic sensibilities remain present, but they have been redirected into something warmer and more intimate.

Newcombe functions as a collaborator rather than a giant flashing guest-star sign, which is usually the healthiest arrangement when two distinctive musical personalities meet. The track provides another clue about the wider album while standing comfortably on its own, exactly what a pre-album single ought to accomplish. "Lose yourself" is normally questionable navigational advice. Musically, Öhrn makes a persuasive exception.
