"The Lincs duo have an instantly appealing Interpol rumble to their bass, only added to by Leigh Ecuyer's equal parts mystic/wounded innocent voice in the vein of The Music.
Topped off by Daniel Taylor getting drum machine noises last rivalled by The Sisters Of Mercy's Dr Avalanche and it's a mighty dark anthem.
Moody bedsit hero status awaits."
SANDMAN MAGAZINE August 2007 by Jon Daniels
"Opening with the brilliant 'Devil's Gonna Bring Me A Girl', Lost Hearts displayed their knack for creating tense, melodic tunes, in spite of ongoing technical difficulties. They always seem one step away from spontaneously imploding, shamelessly fractious but brilliantly watchable."
Once upon a time (in December 2003) there were two smalltown boys who wanted to play music for the King. The King, being wise, had far more competent musicians in his court, and so the two boys were exiled to play for ogres, trolls and wicked witches in the dark caverns of Lincolnshire. The boys searched far and wide for a drummer boy to play with them but, being fools, the drummer boys were all playing in heavy metal bands. Fortunately a fairy Godmother (Yamaha) blessed the two boys with a magical drumming machine, enabling them to resume their quest. The boys continued searching , singing sad songs of far away lands and lost loves, hoping one day to find the holy grails of melody and major label megabucks. And they lived happily ever after.....
La Folie have a very exciting gig coming up on the 8th of April down at the Leadmill in Sheffield! We're being supported by Sound of Guns and Pistola Kicks! Get in touch with us if you want some tickets...hope you like the flyer too...
Well I heard its over boys, to quote "the best bands will never get signed, can't they see that love is blind". It's a shame you'll be missed. Need to get a copy off you of the ep, so when were next around in Lincoln maybe we could get together for a drink or something. Take care boys. Tom x
Hey, yeah we need to arrange something we haven't seen you guys in ages. We should try and arrange a gig together. How's life treating you guys? How's the drum machine? Sweet times. x
