There’s a whole lotta news these days about Portland’s electro tinged indie pop band Lost Lander. For starters, the quartet, made up of original band founder/songwriter Matt Sheehy, Patrick Hughes, Dave Lowensohn and Sarah Fennell, will be releasing their debut album, DRRT on January 24th. Then, the band will be going on a series of West Coast tour dates with fellow Portland natives Radiation City. AND if that’s not enough, the band just released the first video off of the album, “Cold Feet,” which you can watch here:
DRRT has been four years in the making, four years of Sheehy crafting gorgeous music (first with his 2008 solo project Tigerphobia) inspired by the sheer beauty and grandeur of the Pacific Northwest. Filled with inspirations from everyone from Band of Horses to My Morning Jacket but with a sad, electronic edge, Lost Lander’s debut album will be released in special edition planetarium formatting (no lie, you can shine a light through each of the constellations to represent a different song).
