Lost Film Share Another Single

Leave a comment

Never a bad day to come across new music from Lost Film, particularly as we know there’s a new LP in the very near future. This track was really interesting; I kept spending the first 20 seconds or so thinking of Pavement, but as soon as Jim Hewitt enters the picture with his voice, the song immediately sinks into a more subdued landscape. That softness pervades through the entirety from that point on, with those little classic 90s guitar noodles wiggling their way in and out of the tune. Safely landing the song in that guitar pop landscape just seems like the natural step for Hewitt’s songwriting, illustrating all the work he’s put in to fleshing out Keep It Together; the album will be out on September 15th via Relief Map Records.

Lost Film Share Big Talk Single

Jimmy Hewitt, aka Lost Film, is one of my favorite current indiepop songwriters, but he’s mostly been quiet the last few years, focusing on his great label, Relief Map. But, today a fresh new single is ready for your ears, built with “not much more than an electric guitar, a drum machine and distorted synthesizers.” The simplistic beat just keeps your toes tapping and your head bobbing, while the dreamier guitar edges wrap themselves around each melodic note Hewitt has created. Jimmy’s voice takes the track into that hazy jangle sound, dreamily draped over that natural kick. Looks like this song is part of a greater collection of tunes written during the pandemic, so we’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
