Roots-Rockers The Dunlop Brothers Release New Single “Lost in the Feeling” From ‘Vol. 2’ Album

Hamilton-based roots-rock band The Dunlop Brothers release their new single “Lost in the Feeling,” a warm, reflective track drawn from their latest album ‘The Dunlop Brothers, Vol. 2.’ The song captures the brothers’ gift for melodic songwriting and emotional nuance, further defining a sound shaped by rock, folk, Americana, and Canadiana traditions.

Comprised of siblings Justin and Matt Dunlop, The Dunlop Brothers have built a reputation for music grounded in authenticity and craft. Raised in a deeply musical family and influenced by the songwriting lineage of Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, and Rush, the brothers blend Steeltown grit with lyrical sensitivity. Their work reflects a lifelong immersion in music and a shared instinct for storytelling that feels personal and universal at once.

“Lost in the Feeling” showcases the duo’s collaborative songwriting approach, unfolding with patience and emotional clarity. Lines such as “I get lost in the feeling, love, what’s the meaning of?” and “Does your heartbeat faster now?” drift over a spacious arrangement that highlights the song’s introspective core. The refrain “I get lost in the dreaming; love was the one way out” anchors the track in a sense of longing and connection that resonates through subtle shifts in tone and texture.

The song was written by Justin and Matt Dunlop and recorded at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, a creative hub known for its deep roots in Canadian music. Produced by The Dunlop Brothers alongside Will Crann and Mike Monson, the recording emphasizes live-off-the-floor performances that capture the chemistry of longtime collaborators. The result is a sound that feels immediate and lived-in, balancing polish with organic energy.

As part of ‘The Dunlop Brothers, Vol. 2,’ the single reflects the duo’s interest in revealing new dimensions of their musical identity while staying true to their core sensibilities. The album expands on the foundation established on their earlier work, drawing listeners closer to the way the band sounds onstage, with rich instrumentation, dynamic interplay, and melodic depth.

“Lost in the Feeling” also highlights The Dunlop Brothers’ strength as storytellers. Lyrics like “Is it you I’m running from?” and “Now we’ll move on” unfold with restraint, allowing space for interpretation and emotional connection. The song’s gentle momentum and thoughtful phrasing underscore the brothers’ ability to create songs that linger beyond the final note.

‘The Dunlop Brothers, Vol. 2’ is available now on all major streaming platforms, with “Lost in the Feeling” serving as a standout moment from the album. The release continues to build momentum for the band as they share new music and connect with audiences drawn to honest songwriting and timeless sound.

Hear The Beatles ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Inner Groove’ Played Forwards And Backwards

A YouTube video uploaded by rjciccone explores the mysterious “Sgt. Pepper’s Inner Groove” from The Beatles’ 1967 mono UK Parlophone LP, playing the hidden track both forwards and backwards for over a minute each. The inner groove appears after “A Day in the Life” on the UK version of ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ but was not included on the American LP, first appearing in the U.S. on the ‘Rarities’ album in 1980. Fans have long debated the cryptic message within this groove, with forward interpretations ranging from “Lucy Annie all the way” to “never could be any other way,” while backwards playback has fueled “Paul is Dead” conspiracy theories with possible phrases like “Will Paul be back as Superman?” The video notes that while The Beatles released a 50th anniversary box set of the album in May 2017 with remastered stereo and mono versions, Dolby surround 5.1, and plenty of outtakes and demos, the inner groove backwards remains exclusive to fan-created content like this upload.
