ALBUM REVIEW: Me Lost Me – This Material Moment

Upset the Rhythm

Released: 27.06.25

Some artists are able to express raw emotion so legitimately that they forgo any and all tropes or restrictions of a genre and find themselves turning it on its head or even existing entirely outside of it.

Enter Newcastle-based artist Jayne Dent, otherwise known as Me Lost Me, whose brand of folk music is not so easily defined by conventional labels but rather has to be spliced and dissected in order to be stuffed into several ill-fitting boxes. Her beguiling live vocals have never been captured so accurately and committed to record so authentically as they have on her latest LP This Material Moment, a gentle yet intense storm of avant-garde electronics and an old, traditional folk sensibility.
