A Toronto-based band is bringing its signature “melancholy-infused pop rock” to the stage in New Westminster.
Lost & Profound is on tour across the country in support of their most recent release Goodbye Mine, and their tour includes an April 21 stop at the Heritage Grill.
The duo includes lead singer Lisa Boudreau and lyricist/guitarist/producer Terry Tompkins, who have been together for 30 years. Their roots go back to Calgary’s underground music scene, where they first collaborated as the Psychedelic Folk Virgins.
After relocating to Toronto and releasing an album as Lost & Profound, they were discovered by Polygram Records and had their first major label release – resulting in a Top 20 single (Brand New Set of Lies) and a Juno Award nomination.
They took a break from making records together, experimenting separately in different music genres, and have come back to their roots to make their latest album.
The 10 songs on Goodbye Mine all run along the theme of loss – from the title track, which stemmed from reading about the devastation from the U.S. Civil War, to Rovers, which evokes the feel of an old Scottish maritime ballad, and Bad Sister, which draws on dark family secrets.
You can hear them on Thursday, April 21 at the Heritage Grill (447 Columbia St.) at 8 p.m.
