I love when artists team up to make something great. It might be the most important reminder we have outside Chance the Rapper that teamwork really can make a good thing great.A great example of that is the latest song from Columbus, Ohio indie rock band Earwig, "Wasted On You," for which they tapped the truly talented Lydia Loveless. The song is a classic back and forth between two lovers that chronicles the heartache that comes with loving deeply but being forced to let go for whatever reason."Lydia played in a band called Carson Drew in Columbus as a teenager, and I had seen them play," says vocalist and guitarist Lizard McGee on approaching Loveless for this song. "I think Earwig even had a show with them at Bernie's Bagels. I was a fan of her solo records and had her most recent record playing a lot at my house during the time that I wrote the song. When I decided it would be a duet, her's was the first voice that I heard singing the other part. I knew her casually already, so it was easy to find her and ask. I sent her the song, she dug it and said yes."You can preorder the album here.
