Indie/Unsigned Artist of the Week

The Lost Patrol

   The Lost Patrol is a NYC area band that has released a string of albums independently, including the shimmeringly gorgeous "Lonesome Sky" in 2005. Their sound is a bit in the vein of Mazzy Star, but more ethereal and less plodding. "Lonesome Sky" is perfect night-time music... sitting out on the balcony and looking up at the stars, kicking back and letting the sounds wash over you. The Lost Patrol's style is an unusual combination - dreamy pop with some elements that I can only describe as "twang", with vocals that remind me of The Sundays or perhaps The Cranes - and it all works beautifully. You can hear "Stars Collide" from "Lonesome Sky" as well as the utterly brilliant "Sirens" on Bluespace Radio this week, as we feature The Lost Patrol as our Indie/Unsigned band of the week. Check them out on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/lostpatrol or their website at thelostpatrol.com. Their CDs are available for purchase on iTunes, and I highly recommend giving them a listen.
