As heard on BBC Introducing, The Lost Notes are a 5-piece Americana band from Moseley Birmingham. They are renowned for their energetic and joyous live shows with a sound that “Fits in amongst peers like… Fleet Foxes, …Fairport Convention… Crosby Stills Nash and Young.”
They are now set to release their third album on 20th September “GOOD LUCK SHOES”. The album features ten new songs spotlighting tales of the wary, the hopeful, the loved and the lovable; the wild and the lost, the unhinged and the crossed. The fixed up, the torn down, the hoe-downs and throw downs, topped by the musings of a deliriously optimistic psychopath with a death wish. Simple!
It’s been a busy time for the band. 18 months ago the band were joined by Steve Vantsis on bass, broadening the mix of musical influences that bit further. Ben Mills brings a long history and love of Americana/Soul; Oli Jobes, rooted in traditional folk; Maxim Tomlinson, jazz conservatoire pedigree; Steve Vantsis: 30 years touring the world and recording predominantly prog-rock and playing with the likes of (FISH, Candy Dulfer, KT Tunstall) and Lucy Mills, sultry jazz and the band’s pictorial artist. Throw it all together and you get “The Lost Notes” sound, with songs that remain steeped in the Americana, Folk, Country tradition but with a unique style and edge. Holding it all together is the core acoustic instrumentation and uplifting three-part harmonies. We hope you enjoy it!
