TRACK REVIEW: Lost Lot – We Built A House

Image by Victoria Wai

Previously known by the rather lengthy moniker Matt Dunbar & The Autonomous Collective, Lost Lot are a North East alt. country group comprised of Matt Dunbar, Jamie Mackay, Scott Dolan and Ben Lackenby.

The band’s debut single We Built A House is a disarmingly sincere and open-hearted song that draws its inspiration from Dunbar’s personal experiences. Dunbar has a fine voice and the song itself has a timeless quality, almost reminiscent of The Byrds, enhanced by a crisp and direct arrangement and assured musicianship. The quartet will be holding a single launch at the Mosaic Tap in Newcastle on Friday 31^st March, supported by Brother Joe. If this impressive debut single is anything to go by, Lost Lot are worthy of further investigation.
