lyrics

I don't know if I'm paralysed, or if I'm standing still, just in case it's perfect... but when I try to describe the noise in this room, words that come to me sound like entomology, and that's when I’m furthest away from naming it again. One night out on the veldt, fell into that glowing cave. I had no idea there were such spaces in me. I can't believe I've become fascinated again. Nothing like I thought that it would be, hidden in here. Things that glow down here don't burn my skin. Did you always know that this was in? I'm fascinated again. Part of me's laughing but part of me's something that I'll never ever name. I can't believe I've become fascinated again. Back above the ground, I cannot speak. Came back minutes old, 'cos you led me here. I would not have found this on my own.

about

Thumpermonkey London, UK

A person in space, walking, or adrift, but safe, exploring, freedom, discovery.

A clockwork piano contraption, like a giant ballerina box, but turning a big totem pole, around which smart office dressed people slowly dance with dead glazed eyes as a slightly out of tune slow Satie-like Lydian melody loops round.

White men in pith helmets hunting large animals to extinction. ... more

music trickling through spaces somewhere in the woods grown over the strange rusted out husks of company towns. haunting the 8-track car stereos of abandoned ufo watchers' station wagons. celestial and possessed of a sinister undertone. turns into a cryptid indeed can't pick favorites, this is a sonic web all caught up in itself. self contained as it were. and self assured of that fact in very clever bits. aotihav

In 2019, I was in Salisbury and attended the Alphabet Business Convention without knowing any artist. Lost Crowns was my favourite band that played there. Pablo P.

One of my favourite albums of the past couple of years. A truly original sound I can't really pigeonhole with other bands. Brilliant musicianship from all, soaring vocals - I think I once heard it described as 'an intoxicating mix'. Short tracks but they pack so much variation into a couple of minutes - lyrical to grunge choppy chords in a few seconds. Brilliant. Chris Shaw
