a division of **Schubert Music Europe**.

Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys are an art pop ambient noise band whose music is full
of atmosphere and intensity. Based in Berlin, the group is fronted by South African-
born Lucy Kruger. To encounter her music is to witness a singular journey of constant
reflection that produces an ever-widening arc of creativity. This burning psychedelic
folk is both intimate and energetic.

A spiky post-punk anthem for our time, this song is both more playful and more intense
than the band’s previous work. A chaotic and cathartic doomsday monologue, there
is a change-up in tone, sound and subject matter multiple times within its short
run-time. The opening groove feels like a dark cheerleading anthem that is soon 
subsumed by a doom-like rumble, over which Lucy spits a stream of consciousness.

There is a schizophrenic quality to the song, as if it’s been captured within the
wrong groove and has to rush to find itself or to escape, hopefully spilling some
moments of truth along the way. The first line in the second verse “I’m catwalking
out of a Burning Building” brings up the feeling of masquerading in a situation 
that would be better suited to running.

In April 2022, the band released their third album in the** [‘Tapes Trilogy’](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2flucykruger.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fteen%2dtapes%2dfor%2dperforming%2dyour%2down%2dstunts&umid=da273d55-bf7f-49ce-bdc4-043bf469fd1f&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-d34fc7d71c8d49daf2402fa25f0d9154d6d698c8),**
signifying a relinquishing of control throughout the course of the three records
in terms of both the sonic landscape and the stories brought to life through the
lyrics. This song cycle began in 2019 with the band’s debut album [**‘Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2flucykruger.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fsleeping%2dtapes%2dfor%2dsome%2dgirls&umid=da273d55-bf7f-49ce-bdc4-043bf469fd1f&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-611487426383f7b1bbbfe5004b68683828cf6b70),

in 2021 and the final** **[**‘Teen Tapes (for performing your own stunts)’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2flucykruger.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fteen%2dtapes%2dfor%2dperforming%2dyour%2down%2dstunts&umid=da273d55-bf7f-49ce-bdc4-043bf469fd1f&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-d34fc7d71c8d49daf2402fa25f0d9154d6d698c8)
in 2022.

Pursuing a slow, steady exploration of what it takes to make music that’s universal,
that endures, that draws listeners in, even after countless listens, Lucy Krugar&
the Lost Boys continue to explore live performance that drifts between introverted
and ecstatic. They have performed at the likes of Rheeperbahn, Fusion, Maifeld Derby,
Wave-Gotik Treffen, South of Silence, Immergut, Left of The Dial, and Synästhesie.

As of January 19, ‘Burning Building’ is available from fine music platforms, including
