The Lostines are Camille Wind Weatherford and Casey Jane Reece-Kaigler, a duo out of New Orleans who make sweet and swampy throwback pop. With the help of some friends, The Lostines have just released a self-titled EP, a record packed with swaying doo wop harmonies and heartbroken country crooning.
Opener ‘Faith in Love’ is the perfect intro, golden and celebratory and slightly bittersweet, like a timeless classic beamed across the bayou. Thematically, the song has an equally dateless feel, taking on concepts of life and love as they change or don’t, enduring across time.
As the years go by, man we all grow old
what used to get us by has got us feeling low
but there’s one thing that always holds true
it’s the ones you love and their love for you

‘It’s Been Wrong’ rattles along like a cross-country train, a song about loving and leaving that still manages to be the most energetic track on the EP. The heartsick ‘Who’s Your Love’ is sultry and syrupy, the narrator lying awake at 4am wondering about a special someone’s new love, while final track ‘Dreaming of Your Touch’ is heady with yearning and desire. The rickety guitar squawks behind smooth and blue vocals, lonesome pining for someone long gone.
