Mentioned in Dispatches: First Light – Lost//Youth 

Lost//Youth have one of those classic sounds, one that doesn’t seem to come precisely from one genre or another, a timeless sound constructed of the best bits of many sounds and styles – in this case, folk and pop and indie, a few rock touches and no small amount of classical grace. It is difficult to describe precisely what it is about the music that resonates so clearly and effortlessly, but First Light sounds like a set of songs that you have been listening to your whole life.

Five songs that are built as much from space as the sounds that they surround those delicate pauses with, with atmosphere as much as actual playing, and where chiming gorgeousness and charming sonics, effortless atmospherics and more-than-the-sum-of-their-parts sounds pool and percolate in the spaces between.

Classic, oddly familiar, wonderfully fresh…timeless.
