For Lost Cousins, grappling with life transitions—and the domino effects of those choices—is at the core of their sprawling, celestial-sounding debut LP released via Pheromone Recordings. The record is a sweeping, anthemic tribute to the things one loses or gives up; the places one longs for, especially as one grows up and moves on. It’s a record that spans the entire country and collapses back into itself; feeling like a swelling tide in the ocean with a significant, sweet comedown when the tide settles on the beach. More recently, the band has been quietly and meticulously self-recording their sophomore record in chalets, cottages and various unique remote locations across Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.

Lost Cousins is Cam Duffin, Lloyd McArton, Thomas Dashney, Sean MacTaggart and Marcus Sisk.
