“Lost” by Linuss breaks the mold by starting with a challenge—to craft a track solely around a drum groove. Drawing from lo-fi and psychedelic music influences reminiscent of Mac Demarco and Tame Impala, this song brings dreamy vibes but puts a unique spin on it with a focus on drums and groove, setting it apart from Linuss’ previous works.
The melody, born during Linuss‘ everyday errands, carries an urgent, unresolved tension, leading to the creation of the lyrics. It captures the excitement of encountering something new, akin to tumbling down the rabbit hole like Alice in Wonderland. The track beautifully encapsulates the essence of falling in love and navigating new connections, where trust and vulnerability reign in a bewildering world.
