About
Natural Born Losers is the fifth full length album by Nicole Dollanganger released on October 9, 2015 by the Eerie Organization. It was written and composed by her in 2014 - 2015.
Background
In April of 2015, Dollanganger flew to LA to meet with Grimes and James Brooks when Natural Born Losers was in it's demo stages. In August of 2015, Grimes publicly announced her creation of the Eerie Organization - a platform to "to fucking put Natural Born Losers out." Natural Born Losers was the first album recorded outside of her home and released on a label.
The title is most likely a reference and alternate take on Natural Born Killers (1994), a film directed by Oliver Stone.
