Lost Chimes by Lost Chimes
This is our debut album - an alluring indie-folk escape into another world.
It is a record whose songs were written over the last 10 years, dealing with everyday stories, hope, loss and the energies between life and death.
The album tracks constitute a raw and soothing note to self, woven with raw emotion, character, compassion and peace.
Lost Chimes recorded with long-term collaborator and engineer, the late John Hannon, (Understand, Liberez, No Recording) in Rayleigh, Essex.
John passed away on 5 May 2021 and is sorely missed. He was a shining light, a friend, a story-teller, a gentle, funny, innovator. John transformed our vision of what we thought this collection of songs could be and encouraged us to try new things, performing his magic as he always did. We are so lucky that we and Rich and Tim (Hunt Us) got to spend so much time with you in the last 4 years especially.
RIP John. We dedicate this album to you and your legacy which is in all of our music and that of so many music-makers and music communities all over this world.
Gemma, Nicky, Flora & Robyn xxxx
