'Accusations of being wilfully difficult are often fielded at music like this. Lost Crowns symphonically rendered chaos transcends being simply intellectually interesting with a visceral dynamism usually absent from such tunes'

We've pressed "go" on the new Lost Crowns album a few days early, not because we're impatient, but because we're nice.
Which one is your favourite? "All of them," cheered everybody in unison.

Shelby has been working on a new docuseries about various service stations around the UK. This is the pilot--we've sent it off to the BBC, but haven't heard anything back yet.
Excellent camerawork from @charliecawood.bsky.social as well.

This evening Lost Crowns have a "listening party", i.e. the new album streaming in its entirety while members of the band chip into an online chat saying things like "check out those handbells, man!" If that sounds like your idea of fun, join us at 8pm.

Yeah, this book is incredible! If you liked this, Iโd also totally recommend โBoy Islandโ by @leoofox.bsky.social, and โRoad To Chimeraโ by Jua OK. Both very trans-masc fantasy! ๐

Unfortunately, this means that weโve had to move the show at London Earth to later in the year. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you understand x
I recently had the unmitigated pleasure of editing the new 60-page comic book by the incredible Jua OK. An allegorical story of a mountain pilgrimage, which explores themes of trans-ness and spirituality, โRoad To Chimeraโ is finally out in physical form!

Lost Crowns first record was one of 6 Music's albums of the year despite having a million notes in it. The new one (out April 4) has two million. I completely love what we've made. Pre-order at bit.ly/lcthiitb, and a short sample of the lysergic cacophony is below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om2J...
