In a world filled with conceptual environmental architect, Lost in Paris, designed by R&Sie Architects for a so-called ‘urban witch’, is the definition of innovation and resourcefulness. The 1400 square foot home is engulfed by 1200 ferns and 300 glass-blown pods.

We have a new track by Oregon songwriter Boy Eats Drum Machine available for free download in the Music Download section of Lost At E Minor (pssst, it’s in third column of the site), along with a stack of new tracks by artists such as Gang Gang Dance, Jihae, and The Black Keys live in concert. The tracks are all DRM free and have been given to us for you to download by the record labels and band management companies that we work with. We add new MP3 downloads to this section most days, so check in, discover some new music, and build up your iTunes library at the same time.

Back in the day, when I was a skinny teenager on the great pedestal of life, I had a real obsession for the understated, low-fi, deliciously melodic and somewhat blurry sounds of the New Zealand Flying Nun bands. I would pool my meagre savings and canvas the local record shops, scouring the racks for the latest cassettes from The Bats, The Chills, The Clean, and, later, The Straitjacket Fits. Read more
There’s a world-weariness about Two Gallants frontman Adam Stephens. It reveals itself in the Tom Waits-like raspiness that permeates his gin house drawl and in the talkin’ blues narratives that he weaves around his simple acoustic fingerpicking. They are the new superstars of the West Coast scene, majestic showmen in homespun rags.
Listen to the Two Gallants track, The hand that held you down.
