Melting Vinyl: Bringing the cream of live music to Brighton.

Lost Horizons are really sorry to announce that they’ve had to re-schedule their upcoming UK and Italian shows which includes the Brighton date originally on April 18. All tickets remain valid and refunds available at point of purchase.

After selling out the Rialto Theatre last year, the new project of Cocteau Twins and Bella Union boss Simon Raymonde, and Dif Juz and Jesus and Mary Chain musician Richie Thomas return with full band for an even bigger show and tour in support of their critically acclaimed debut album Ojalá.

Ojalá, is a rare sighting of two gifted musicians who, for different reasons, have been largely absent from music-making for the last 20 years. Yet the record is proof of a telepathic relationship through music, established when the pair first became collaborators and friends in the eighties.

For the live incarnation of the band, Lost Horizons will include three vocalists: Ed Riman aka Hilang Child and Beth Cannon, both of whom appear on the album, as well as Helen Ganya Brown who records under the alias Dog In The Snow. Chris Anderson of Crayola Lectern and Asya Fairchild of Blush complete this very special live musical incarnation.

Together, the Lost Horizons ensemble has created an hour of exquisite, expansive and diverse spellcasting, from facets of soul, to dreamier invocations like ‘She Led Me Away’ and Ojalá’s lengthiest trip, ‘The Engine’. There’s the odd louder, faster detour, like ‘Life Inside A Paradox’, but the dominant mood is a deep, rich melancholia.

“A beautiful, haunted, haunting album; hear it.” – Record Collector

“This is a diverse collection of quality melancholia by two intuitive veterans with nothing to prove except their ability to create music to invest your soul into.” – MusicOMH

Support comes from:
Penelope Isles
Hailing from the Isle of Man, Penelope Isles make waves of ambient delays and fuzz guitar noise, sonic dynamics and melodic pop hooks entwined with girl-boy harmonies. For the lovers of Deerhunter, Neil Young, Grizzly Bear and The Magic Numbers.
“Their set is the wide-eyed optimism of youth with a knack for great pop hooks which they smear with psych fuzz.” – Line of Best Fit

Crayola Lectern
Crayola Lectern made a big splash with his debut album in 2013, which garnered critical acclaim and placed the group firmly in the dreamy worlds of pastoral psychedelia, whilst lyrically dealing with the very real issues of survival in the modern world. Always working in opposites, melancholy is offset by an irreverent wit and beauty by strangeness. It’s eccentricity belies a deep soulfulness at its core.
