Raw and driven, yet oozing with thick synth textures and a great sense of melancholy and drama, LOST IN KIEV further expand their own idiosyncratic take on cinematic, contemporary post rock.
Post rock has ever since its beginnings shown an affinity to the use of speech samples, and has borrowed voices from movies or speeches by celebrities like Iggy Pop as in Mogwai's „Punk Rock“ or random lost souls as in GY!BE's „Blaise Bailey Finnegan III“.
LOST IN KIEV take this tradition to the next level, by writing their own genuine storyline, and making their own movie to their album. Ever since 2016's Nuit noir, the band has recorded their own spoken words, as opposed to plagiarizing from movies. During their live performances, these voiceovers are synchronized with video projections showing actors who interprete the different voices on screen. An inverted soundtrack of sorts, or musical fiction, always tinged with realism in a striking and emotionally intense way.
