Lost Lyra

London-based post/soft math rock innovators Lost Lyra return with their next single “Three Letters” out today (20th September) via Big Richard Records (Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Lost Lyra, Kipper Gillespie).

Influenced by midwest emo and math rock bands like American Football and Toe, the band also traces inspirations from more contemporary acts such as Horse Jumper Of Love and @, blending neo-folk styles with lush ambience to create their own concoction.

Equal parts fluid and subtle, the track was produced and mixed by Spencer Withey at ICMP and mastered by Harry Hayes of Studio Nunn.

“We're getting much closer to the sound we've been aiming for.  It took us a while to get this out and we spent that time focusing on writing new songs that we're really proud of. ”(Quote from the band)

Having met at a Young Women's Music Project event in their native Oxford, Amelie Prior (Guitar/Vocals) and Frances Steel (Drums/Vocals) formed Lost Lyra and played their first gigs while still in their teens. The pair moved to North London in 2022 and recruited Anzhela Sladkarova (Guitar) and Luke Osborne (bass), going on to meet Zeno Vidovic (saxophone) and Martin Mundrov (guitar) at university to complete their lineup.

The band experienced various success, both live and in the studio, having previously released a compilation track with Slow Dance Records (Supercolony, 2024), and a single out beforehand (Pastel Colours, 2023) - Lost Lyra never stop.

The band have been enjoying the London circuit for the past two years, and are excited for their launch party at Avalon Cafe, Bermondsey on the 24th September, alongside Glasshouse Red Spider Mite and Garden Slug.
