Lost Crowns - The Heart Is In The Body album cover. Black diagram and lettering on pale pink background. A safety type image, advising: 'Never have one foot on the ladder and one foot on another object. Always have both feet on the ladder.'
'Akin to a wilder Gentle Giant, had they been inspired by Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern and Conlon Nancarrow, instead of medieval and baroque chamber music.'

You know when you post something without reading it a second time?
Bandcamp Friday obliges all musicians to post things like this short video, along with a link to buy our magnificent work, which, in the case of Lost Crowns, is here: lostcrowns.bandcamp.com/album/the-he...

Herewith the last chaotic minute of βI Might Notβ by Lost Crowns, from an album which we made and which you can get here. lostcrowns.bandcamp.com/album/the-he... Donβt try tapping your foot, it wonβt work.
We celebrate these incredible comics about trans, non-binary & gender non-conforming people. Gosh! is and will continue to be a safe place for this community and we will work hard to make it even safer in the future, to support them and their work, and to fight against transphobia and fascism π³οΈββ§οΈ β€οΈ
Lost Crowns - The Heart is in the Body album cover. Black inked 'safety notice' style drawing of a human outline with only one foot on a ladder, against a pale pink background.
'Accusations of being wilfully difficult are often fielded at music like this. Lost Crowns symphonically rendered chaos transcends being simply intellectually interesting with a visceral dynamism usually absent from such tunes'

We've pressed "go" on the new Lost Crowns album a few days early, not because we're impatient, but because we're nice.
Which one is your favourite? "All of them," cheered everybody in unison.

Shelby has been working on a new docuseries about various service stations around the UK. This is the pilot--we've sent it off to the BBC, but haven't heard anything back yet.
Excellent camerawork from @charliecawood.bsky.social as well.

This evening Lost Crowns have a "listening party", i.e. the new album streaming in its entirety while members of the band chip into an online chat saying things like "check out those handbells, man!" If that sounds like your idea of fun, join us at 8pm.

Yeah, this book is incredible! If you liked this, Iβd also totally recommend βBoy Islandβ by @leoofox.bsky.social, and βRoad To Chimeraβ by Jua OK. Both very trans-masc fantasy! π
Iβm thrilled to be supporting @Manics for two nights at Londonβs Shepherdβs Bush Empire on April 18th & 19th.
Unfortunately, this means that weβve had to move the show at London Earth to later in the year. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you understand x
I recently had the unmitigated pleasure of editing the new 60-page comic book by the incredible Jua OK. An allegorical story of a mountain pilgrimage, which explores themes of trans-ness and spirituality, βRoad To Chimeraβ is finally out in physical form!

A lovely review of the recent album launch by Gleb Kolyadin. It was a real pleasure to be involved!

Wishing a very happy birthday, and many happy returns to the amazing and endlessly stylish @charliecawood.bsky.social !
