Lost Film & Orchid Mantis

Keep It Together was recorded in a log cabin in the midst of a blizzard in rural New Hampshire but you wouldn’t know it by listening to it. The melody driven guitar-pop of Lost Film typically strives for short and sweet, often uptempo indie pop. And though brief moments of slowcore or the occasional emo-indebted guitar may arise, the songwriting at its core is based in straight forward verse, chorus, verse, radio pop. Citing the guitar-pop and crossover appeal of Fountains of Wayne and the introspective layers of the American Analog Set as influences, Lost Film too finds ways to weave in and out of lanes at varying speeds but always with the destination of a hook.
