Lostfolk by Gaz Brookfield

So, the difficult 6th album eh?

The title, "Lostfolk", came out of a conversation I had with Jake Martin while we were on tour in 2018. We were discussing which genre we pick from from the dropdown boxes on festival application websites, and how neither of us felt like any of the options particularly applied to us.

I've never considered myself to be a folk musician, as such, despite having some vaguely folky sounding songs. I don't fit into the "singer/songwriter", bracket either, as for me that conjures up mental images of more, shall we say, subdued musicians. While there is of course a place for that, it's not really me. I've never been a "punk" either, so "folk/punk", has always been a fairly alien concept to me. Yeah I know I have tattoos and shout a lot, but I still don't feel particularly punk.

So this left Jake and I feeling somewhat lost between the genres, which led to a conversation about the movie, The Lost Boys, and how awesome it is. Did you know that there are two sequels to that!? Anyway, I digress...so this led us to joking about being the Lost Boys/Men of folk, and then this became Lostfolk.

Lostfolk is the new genre that Jake and I have invented for ourselves, but everyone is welcome. If you want to be Lostfolk too, you're more than welcome. Not just for musicians too. If you feel at any point, in any way, lost, then why not be lost together?
