Canadian indie rockers Lost Pitch have burst onto the scene with their eagerly awaited debut EP, ‘Friends & Foes’. This four-track offering serves as a potent introduction to the Toronto-based quartet's eclectic musical vision, showcasing their ability to seamlessly meld diverse influences into a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Comprised of Erick Vidal, Leandro Motta, Ricardo Santos, and Alex Mine, Lost Pitch have crafted an EP that defies easy categorisation. Their music draws inspiration from a wide range of eras and styles, resulting in a sonic palette that is rich, textured, and brimming with personality. There are echoes of classic rock's swagger, alternative rock's introspection, and indie rock's raw energy, all filtered through a contemporary lens.
The band's commitment to capturing their sound in its purest form is evident in their decision to use analogue tape on the record. This approach lends a warmth and depth to the music that is often absent in modern digital recordings. The EP's final polish was applied by the legendary Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios, ensuring that every nuance of Lost Pitch's music is faithfully reproduced.
From the driving rhythms and soaring vocals of the opening track to the more introspective moments found elsewhere on the EP, "Friends & Foes" is a testament to Lost Pitch's songwriting prowess. The band's lyrics delve into universal themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships, delivered with an emotional honesty that is both relatable and affecting.
The EP's opening track, ‘Do You Have Time?’, is a particular highlight, its anthemic chorus and infectious energy destined to become a live favourite. The band's ability to craft melodies that linger long after the music has stopped is a testament to their songwriting skills.
With ‘Friends & Foes’, Lost Pitch have announced their arrival in style. This debut EP is a bold statement of intent, showcasing a band with a clear vision and the talent to bring it to life. As the band themselves put it, "We're excited to finally share our music with the world. We've poured our hearts and souls into this EP, and we can't wait to see what the future holds." If ‘Friends & Foes’ is any indication, the future looks very bright indeed for Lost Pitch.
