A song feeling comfortably like a place to live in while the world outside is falling apart does not need to be mutually exclusive, and Lost Film wear that homebody sentiment well in their sound. Since debuting the project in 2015, the band moniker of Easthampton songwriter Jimmy Hewitt has projected a calm mood board across the everyday existential daze and malaise of washed out indie pop. On “Little Things Forever”, the lead single from his band’s new album, Keep It Together, staying in and embracing what’s safe and sure doesn’t seem like such a bad idea in the way Hewitt curls his voice beneath a cozy blanket of emotive guitars and power pop splendor basking in an afterglow. “I never fear that I miss out / I know I should go do something else / Instead, I’m here inside this house / With you and nobody else,” he sings. While it sounds like a sigh, it’s also one of relief for a change.
Lost Film’s Keep It Together will be released September 15th on Relief Map Records.
