2011. BEST FOR GUESTS. 31 lost and lonesome recording co





Lost and Lonesome is a record label based in Melbourne, Australia and was founded by Mark (also a musician and part of The Lucksmiths, Bart & Friends and Monnone Alone) in 1998, along Jane McCracken.
Today, 71 releases later, it has a catalogue featuring artists from Australia - like The Lucksmiths, (the awesome) Fred Astereo and (the amazing) Bart & Friends and from around the world like The Aislers Set, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart and The Ladybug Transistor.
A great mix of bedsitter indie pop with indie rock telling a very relevant part of music history for the past 13 years.

the foots

the foots ~ the foots (the lost and lonesome recording co, 1998)

unpretentious pop songs created by three girls in the underground scene of melbourne. they started making music in 1996 and as far as i know are no longer together... in fact, little is known about them.
guitar, bass and drums were enough for them to play around with melody and harmony and create classic warm pop songs. sometimes a keyboard is used to give an even more poppy feeling.
this album was the first release of the lost and lonesome recording co. and contains dreamy, sparse and introspective tunes that probably will make you think about another all-girl band from down under: dead famous people. the keyboard on the beginning of the first song is very similar with the beginning of dead famous people classic 'little flashes of yesterday'. but the foots use slightly harder and unpolished arrangements.
funny fact: they were known in melbourne scene for holding dance contests playing songs that were very hard to dance to.
great on saturday sunny afternoons outside.
