Lost Horizons feat. The Hempolics - I Woke Up With An Open Heart

LOST HORIZONS melancholy-delia, informed in part by Raymonde and Thomas’ former respective bands: the legendary COCTEAU TWINS and DIF JUZ, arguably the first word in post-rock, 15 years before it became a trend. Their former bands were labelmates on 4AD in the mid-80s, which is how they first met. Fast forward to 2016, when Raymonde felt the urge to make music again after two decades piloting the revered independent label Bella Union.

Raymonde (bass, guitar, keyboards, production) and Thomas (drums, occasional keys and guitar) forged ahead, creating 16 instrumental tracks to send to prospective guests. Fortuitously, Thomas was at the same juncture. After DIF JUZ, he’d toured with THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, MOOSE, FELT and COCTEAU TWINS before, “the business side of music became too painful. Jamming with Simon, I got really excited, which I hadn’t felt about music in ages.”

LOST HORIZONS upcoming new album "In Quiet Moments"releases 26th Feb 2021 via Bella Union. The album features a stellar array of musical guests including John Grant, C Duncan, Marissa Nadler, Porridge Radio, Penelope Isles, Karen Peris (the innocence mission), Tim Smith (MIDLAKE), Ren Harvieu and many more. The 16-track album will be released in two sections. The first half (8 tracks) will be released digitally 4th December with the second half and full physical release following on 26th February 2021.

Today's tune is the simmering urban-soulful "I Woke Up With An Open Heart" featuring Nubiya Brandon of THE HEMPOLICS. The tune is taken from the new upcoming album "In Quiet Moments" by LOST HORIZONS, releases 26th Feb 2021 via Bella Union. ORDER HERE: smarturl.it/lh_iqm
