Kate Murphy discovers an emotionally-charged storytelling track from the North Yorkshire rockers
As the doomy guitars descend on this, you know you’re about to be taken somewhere fantastical and very possibly Gothic. On the entry of Genevieve’s warm, controlled and glamorous vocals (think Riot Grrrl with a little more sophistication), we find out we’re not being taken somewhere Gothic at all, but somewhere colourful, accepting and just as beautifully painted as the beginning suggested.
Lost is emotionally-charged, straight from the heart and has a wonderful innocence and strong sense of investment to it. The storyline and cartoony escapism of the video that complements Lost further cements The Doubtful Bottle as an altogether cool group of people, who’ve built their own world with care and who’d be splendid, thoughtful companions to go for drinks with.
