Lost Horizons Presents Lost Revellers

Event information

Lost Revellers are a four piece original folk band from East Sussex. Their music draws on Gypsy jazz, tango, celtic and Eastern-European folk, and mixes traditional instruments with polyphonic electric string and synth sounds. Jazz and blues infused violin solos intertwine with soaring accordion melodies, infectious bass riffs and fiery percussion to make a unique fusion. Since releasing their debut ep in 2017 the band have toured extensively in the Uk, performed in Germany and had their music used in films and played on radio including BBC Radio 3. Their first album Midnight Circus was released in 2019 and their new album Sunrise and Seamonsters was released in April 2023.
Support comes from Russell Joslin. With a guitar style reminiscent of a grunge-soaked John Fahey moonlighting with the 13th Floor Elevators, plus vocal aims to mix the gravitas of 16 Horsepower’s David Eugene Edwards with the passionate abandon of The Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser, London-based Russell Joslin vitiates the singer-songwriter tradition until it sounds as splintered as today’s society. His fifth album, ‘O Veisalgia’, is a collection of vivid sonic pictures which twists various forms of duet-led folk-rock, post-punk and grunge into modern tales of addiction, urban violence, masculinity and digital malaise.
