Augustus Muller — Innovative electronic musician, producer, film composer and one half of cult duo Boy Harsher, talks with Paul about his approach to music, highlighting his journey from a high school discovery of synthesizers right through to a current sabbatical in New York. Lees meer
Augustus gives us an intimate look at his creative process. We delve into his experience with teaming up with Jae Mathews to form Boy Harsher, their DIY approach that led to the EBM/coldwave anthem Pain, the influence of film on his work and why a Hans Zimmer approach doesn’t work when scoring Vex Ashley's Femme-directed porn collected together on his recent Cellulosed Bodies album.
Augustus Muller's 'Cellulosed Bodies (Original Score)' — the album featuring two scores, 'Crash' and ‘Automaton' is out now via their own Nude Club Records.

Roger Eno
26 september 2023 · 47 min
Ever wondered how a composer plays with silence to create evocative music? Roger Eno has been honing his ambient and emotive music since 1983’s seminal Apollo: Atmosphere’s And Soundtracks, an album he made with his older brother Brian and the producer Daniel Lanois. Lees meer
Roger chats with Paul about his style and his unique approach of "decomposition" in the creation of music. They delve into his life's experiences, from being a music therapist to his recent signing with esteemed German classical label Deutsche Grammophon and how it has impacted his work. His new LP, The Skies They Shift Like Chords is a testament to his ability to play with silence, create space in music and make every sound intentional. Get to know about his influences, his inspirations, and his aspiration for listeners to fill in the gaps in his music with their own interpretations.
They also discuss the influences of his upbringing, his close connection with the English countryside, and his creative processes.
Eno is set to release his second solo album for Deutsche Grammophon this autumn. Released 13th October, ‘The skies, they shift like chords…’

With his debut album Cuspide des Sirènes creating waves, Simo talks about his artistic process, musical journey, his UK Bass influences, and the transformative experience of birthing a full-length album. Lees meer
The Paris based DJ reveals the art of harnessing different genres and the importance of 'playing with silence' to let the sounds naturally emerge. Then, around 40 minutes in it all takes a twist, their conversation delves deep into the philosophical realm as Simo talks about his encounter with Eckhart Tolle's teachings and his tryst with enlightenment. We probe into his experiences with panic attacks, the therapeutic powers of The Power of Now as well as the concept of the spiritual bypass and his thoughts on self-reflection and context awareness.

Samantha Urbani
5 september 2023 · 1 uur 20 min
Singer, songwriter, producer, political advocate and spiritual New Yorker in LA, Samantha Urbani cut her musical teeth in the Brooklyn indie band Friends, before collaborating with Dev Hynes, singing on 6 out of the 11 tracks on Blood Orange’s Cupid Deluxe. Her upcoming solo album, Showing Up, is bright and sharp and nods to both Tom Tom Club and Janet Jackson. She talks with Paul about how she aproaches the daily practices of creativity, about checking in with yourself on what you believe in, gender inbalance in music and the toxicity that can happen in male written yet femme sung love songs, plus the awesomeness of the late 90s rock-rap crossover trend and how it manifested on the 1998 Godzilla soundtrack Lees meer
Samantha Urbani's LP Showing Up in available from Sep 22nd, pre-order here.

Rrose
22 augustus 2023 · 45 min
Rrose makes enigmatic music that hits a sweet spot between techno and avant-garde composition, blurring gender identity and making work that feels like you’re listening to a living, tactile organism. New album, Please Touch is the latest stop over a long journey that began under a different pseudonym in the club scenes of 1990s California, involved at one point leaving the dancefloor behind for years to study composition at the prestigious Mills College (whose alumni and teachers have included Pauline Oliveros and Steve Reich) before rebirthing as Rrose. They talk with Paul about the sexual energy of dance music, the power of creating a persona and their creative story. Lees meer

Mick Harvey and Amanda Acevedo
8 augustus 2023 · 57 min
Mick Harvey - founding member of The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds and Crime And The City Solution. On top of that, he’s done everything from recording two albums of Serge Gainsbourg covers to being long term collaborator with PJ Harvey. Amanda Acevedo was a fan in Mexico who, during lockdown, plucked up courage and asked him if he’d like to work on a song with her. Forward a few years and what started out as a sort of end of the world dare has morphed into an album of duets: Phantasmagoria in Blue. Mick and Amanda talk with Paul about everything from their creative process, which involved the guiding principle of making everything "slow and depressing" to how Nick Cave’s love of Karen Carpenter nearly derailed a gig at the Hacienda. Lees meer
Their album, Phantasmagoria in Blue is available 1st September, pre-order here.

Yann Tiersen and QUINQUIS
3 augustus 2023 · 37 min
Yann Tiersen and QUINQUIS (Emilie Tiersen) are on a boat with a manifesto, touring the Celtic Islands and playing community halls, pubs, record shops and places along the way. The producer/musician/composing couple talk with Paul about the environmental and consumerist impact of touring and their holistic approach to navigating this. Yann (who first appeared on Lost anf Sound two years ago) did the score to Amelie, which he’s not super hot on by all accounts, he did the score to Goodbye Lenin too, and his recent stuff on Mute plays with textures and atmosphere, Emilie’s work has that magic of early 4AD but in it’s own unique way. Together, they talk about their inspiring adventure and how it relates to our wider world. Lees meer

Kevin Rowland - Dexys
25 juli 2023 · 36 min
Lost and Sound meets Kevin Rowland, singer, musician and the frontman of Dexys Midnight Runners, now shortened to simply Dexys. A true pop maverick - from early 40 hour a week rehearsals and a band name taken from the Northern Soul drug Dexadrine to those seismic 80s pop moments like Geno and Come On Eileen and the stone cold classic Searching For The Young Soul Rebels album, Kevin has flown in and out of favour, regenerating a bit like a post punk soul tinged Doctor Who. On the eve of the release of the 6th Dexys album, The Feminine Divine, Kevin talks to Paul about creativity, life, Roxy Music and the feminine awakening at the heart of the new music. Lees meer

Psycho & Plastic
20 juli 2023 · 56 min
Psycho & Plastic found a way to express their deepest feelings through making ambient music. The duo had been playing their brand of underground electronica in Berlin for years until the events of 2020 put a stop to their live energy. Instead of beats, they channelled the raw emotion lurking in quietness, and it’s a sound they’ve cultivated ever since. The duo, Thomas Ticchai and Alexandre Decoupigny have known Paul for years, and together, the three friends talk about authenticity, creativity and the need to hear quiet voices in a world which values who can shout the loudest. Lees meer
Psycho & Plastic’s most recent album, Phantom Bliss is out now, there’s a link in the online podcast description. And their track No End is on the Ambient Layers Vol 2 compilation on the 7K label.

Finlay Shakespeare
27 juni 2023 · 55 min
Finlay Shakespeare is that rare thing - equally both boffin and poet. A childhood obsession with his parents’ record collection, then teenage years spent building his own synthesizers led on to a series of works, from improvised home recordings to the lush 80s inspired synth pop of his latest album, Illusion + Memory. He speaks with Paul about the need to leave our comfort zones in order to make good music (or art) and how seemingly meaningless lyics later reveal their true meaning and, of course, that love of the 80s.

Finlay Shakespeare’s album Illusion + Memory is out nowon Alter.

James Ellis Ford
20 juni 2023 · 1 uur 5 min
It’s taken James Ellis Ford twenty plus years in the A game to release his debut solo record. In these years he’s become possibly the go to producer for anyone from Blur to Depeche Mode to Kylie to Gorillaz to Foals to Arctic Monkeys. He’s also a Simian Mobile Disco, a Last Shadow Puppet, an Eno protege and inadvertently responsible for the epoch defining mid noughties anthem We Are Your Friends. It would have been easy for him to have made a celeb heavy, zeitgeist grabbing debut, instead, The Hum, released on Warp, is a dense, widescreen ode to pastoral prog, 70s fusion, King Crimson and so much more. James chats with Paul about finding his confidence, the method he absorbed from Eno that go beyond the technical and the enigmatic eccentricity of English music. Lees meer
James Ellis Ford’s album The Hum is available now on Warp Records.

Delilah Holliday
13 juni 2023 · 47 min
North London DIY Icon Delilah Holliday once said she writes songs to make people feel less alone. Her band, Skinny Girl Diet, which she founded at the age of 14 with her sister Ursula and their cousin Amelia reignited a much needed Riot Grrl punk spirit, galvanising a community of like minded music lovers back in the early 2010s. Moving more recently into a lo-fi, electronic and soulful sound, developing her production style along with it and collaborating with Neneh Cherry, Vivienne Westwood and former guest of the show, Baxter Dury, she talks with Paul about her creative process, overcoming doubt, finding transformation and ponders what would a song sound like if it was left out in the sun. Lees meer
Delilah Holliday’s new EP ‘Invaluable Vol. 1’, on 7th July on One Little Independent Records.

And that’s exactly what it’s been, a decade, since her debut came out on the hugely influential Hyperdub label. Now, with the upcoming release of her new album, Love Hallucination, Jessy, currently in Ontario, talks with Paul about her creative process, how her van became the centre of a revelatory Boiler Room set and finding her own musical voice.

Richie Culver
30 mei 2023 · 53 min
Audio/visual artist Richie Culver first realised he could make art at a rave afterparty when he picked up a book of Nan Golding’s photography. He rose to popular attention in recent years firstly in the art world after a work was featured in the Tate Modern and when the piece Did U Cum Yet, a comment about social media, went viral during the pandemic. His debut album, I Was Born By The Sea, mixes spoken word with experimental electronics and has echoes of his birth city of Hull’s Throbbing Gristle. Richie shares a frank and honest chat with Paul about addiction (Richie himself is 8 years sober) about discovering clubbing, about social media, about being present and his creative process.

I Was Born By The Sea (The Remixes) is out on June 23rd on Participant Records.

“You’ve got to go through your owl turmoil to get somewhere, you can’t be lent turmoil,” he tells Paul at some point of a conversation on a Monday morning where Paul totally lost his questions, veered off from asking him about his new album and it’s distinctive balance of grit and swoon and instead just went with a flow that only a Monday morning could deliver - philosophical, profane and humble all at once.

Gina Birch

Gina Birch is a true trailblazer. Co-founder of the all girl post punk band The Raincoats, the music herself and Ana de Silva headed up, which so often hit the soft spot between experimental, choaotic and melodic in the truest Velvets sense, paved the way for decades of music to come and did so much for female visibility in bands. Along the way, the group picked up fans like Kurt Cobain, who invited them on tour. Now, balancing a life of creativity between music, painting and film, Gina talks with Paul about her debut solo LP I Play My Bass Loud and reflects on everything from seeing The Slits to stilletoes to Zoom ettiquette to creativity.

Sunroof - Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones
2 mei 2023 · 53 min
When Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones make music together as Sunroof, they sit either side of a table, adjusting the dials of modular synths and they look like two veteran chess players locked into a very long, perhaps even decades long game. Yet instead of being in competition, it’s like they raise each other’s vibration: one making a sound, the other responding. Lees meer
Both men have changed the way we hear electronic music in the last 40 years. Miller founded Mute Records initially to release his single Warm Leatherette. He met Gareth when they worked on Depeche Mode’s Berlin-connected ‘80s records. The Depeche Mode records we all like. Gareth has produced songs we’ve all danced to many times: Erasure, Wire, Grizzly Bear, Clinic, Interpol. For decades, they’ve been getting together and making these modular improvisations and have finally gotten round to releasing some of the stuff and it’s really good.
Paul caught up with the pair to talk about how they work, how they met and what they think.
Sunroof’s new album, Electronic Music Improvisations Volume 2 – out now on limited edition white vinyl and digitally, via the Parallel Series of Mute

Sleaford Mods
13 maart 2023 · 30 min
Andrew Fearn’s stripped down, austere electro-punk productions and Jason Williamson’s biting yet absurdly humourous lyrics and delivery have been exploring austerity-era Britain, culture, and working class life for over a decade. Collectively as Sleaford Mods, they’ve always done exactly their own thing in their own way but their last album Spare Ribs connected with a wider audience, maybe they’ve even become generational spokespeople in the process too. Add to this, the new album’s title, UK Grim, couldn’t be more apt. Jason and Andrew talk with Paul about their status as spokespeople, humour as a form of resilience, the debilitating effect of the tory government on people and the band's creative process. Lees meer
UK Grim by Sleaford Mods is out now on Rough Trade.

Suzanne Ciani
28 februari 2023 · 50 min
Suzanne Ciani is a true pioneer. One of the world’s first synth heroes. “The diva of the diode.” Ciani began experimenting with electronic music in 1960s California, at a time when to do so wasn’t just about a new style of music, but about creating a whole new language: a new form of music with this new technology. Like Delia Derbyshire and Cosey Fanni Tutti and many other female pioneers, it’s taken time for the world to catch up and for Ciani to be recognised for quite how significant her cultural contribution runs across how we hear what we hear. Lees meer
Now in her mid seventies, she shows no signs of slowing down, she speaks with Paul about some of the key musical moments in her life: California of the 60s, New York of the 70s, the importance of putting emotion into music and her work in spatial sound.
Suzanne Ciani is touring from march to September this year, check out her tourdates here

Miss Grit
24 januari 2023 · 39 min
This week, Paul meets New York-based, Korean-American musician Margaret Sohn aka Miss Grit. Their upcoming debut LP, Follow The Cyborg finds a personal connection between cyborg theory and her identity. As a mixed-race, non-binary artist, Sohn has always rejected the limits of identity thrust upon them by the outside world, in favour of embracing a more fluid and complex understanding of the self. The conversation touches on Donna Haraway’s 1986 essay A Cyborg Manifesto, which uses the figure of the cyborg to urge an understanding beyond the limitations of traditional gender, feminism, and politics. Margaret and Paul talk about her work, which blends a sonic mixture of machine detail and human emotion, New York living and more. Lees meer

The Waeve - Graham Coxon & Rose Elinor Dougall
17 januari 2023 · 47 min
The Waeve is the coming together of two unique musical voices - Graham Coxon & Rose Elinor Dougall who've just come together to make a rather deep and magical record together as The Waeve. Lees meer
Rose - started out in the Spector-eque girl group The Pipettes in the early millennium, has recorded since with Mark Ronson amongst others and her solo music, like on her most recent solo album A New Illusion, taps into a dreamy yet darkly tinged sound with elements like psychedelia, krautrock and folk in the mix. Graham is, what we call in England, somewhat of a national treasure. As guitarist from Blur, he’s been a major creative driving force behind some of the most iconic music of the last thirty years and like Thurston Moore or Jonny Marr, created a real alternative version of a guitar hero, one with vulnerability, angularity and curiosity in place of machismo and pomposity. They spoke with Paul about how they came together and made a dark, richly layered album, along the way becoming a couple and they reflect on the difficult subject of Englishness, their creative processes and more.
The Waeve’s debut LP is out Feb 5th on Transgressive

Mark Jenkin
10 januari 2023 · 58 min
Lost and Sound is back after a seasonal break, and trying something new: Paul’s first guest of the year is actually a film maker. Isn’t this a music podcast? You might say, but Mark Jenkin’s hands-on approach and unique style, particularly when it comes to sound design, make him, for a podcast that meets outliers, innovators and outsiders, a spot on guest. Lees meer
Following on from his 2019 black and white Cornish-set Bait: a film nodody could have predicted would have become the hit it was, we spoke about his new offering, the 70s-set folk horror, Enys Men. It’s hauntology on screen: eerie and dream-like. The soundtrack, composed by Jenkin, is stand-alone good - particularly if you’re a fan of disintegrating drones and analogue loops that feel warped into some lost memory.
Mark Jenkin’s original score for Enys Men is out now digitally on Invada Records. The film is released in the UK on 13 Jan.

Nastia
13 december 2022 · 58 min
Nastia aka - Anastasia Topolskaia is a true techno outlier, the Ukrainian DJ is one of the most in-demand techno DJs travelling internationally yet keeps it real: her sets are hard, deep and come from an intrinsic sense of movement that is tied to her roots as a dancer. Unlike so many DJs, she has for most part not become a producer, rather concentrating on the dancefloor. She is also known for actively choosing to be selective where she plays, picking good venues with good sound systems over maximum exposure. Lees meer
Uncompromising and without filter, Nastia talks with Paul about the effects of the Russian invasion, about why she spoke out on social media about Nina Kravitz, why (connected to this) being honest and being true to yourself are essential to being an artist and more.

Lafawndah’s The Dawn Of Everything is a song that she says was born between unlearning the past and watching the future unfold and is dedicated to the people of Iran and their bravery in rising up after the murder of Masha Amini. Paul talks with the pan-global, pan-genre artist, herself with Iranian roots, about why it’s important for music to offer solidarity and protest, as she puts it “We have music for when we’re born, we have music for when we die and we have music for when we say no!” Lees meer
The Dawn Of Everything is available only via Bandcamp for now and all proceeds from sales will be donated to the organisation Human Rights In Iran - persian.iranhumanrights.org

Alison Cotton is like a musical painter: using voice, harmonium and viola to create textures that, on her most recent album, The Portrait You Painted Of Me, often hauntingly invoke the landscape of North East England.

Ambient maestro Gigi Masin describes living in Venice and always being surrounded by water as making you like a sailor. His seminal 1986 LP Wind was almost entirely lost in a flood in this city, but over the years, his music has continued to find new fans, Gigi’s been sampled by everyone from Bjork to Post Malone and counts Oneohtrix Point Never, Devendra Bahanart and Caroline Polachek as supporters. Lees meer
A philosphical, deeply empathic human in conversation, he talks to Paul about transforming grief into celebration, and how he did this through paying tribute to his late wife on his new album Vahinè. And when someone whose nearly 70 years old looks and sounds barely 50 - then its worth listening as they’re obviously doing something right.

Blancmange
25 oktober 2022 · 49 min
I’m so tall, I’m so tall. This episode is all about the comeback and consistency. It’s incredible to think that since they reactivated, Neil Arthur has recorded 10 albums as Blancmange in just over a decade. Beginning as a duo (with Stephan Luscombe) at the dawn of the eighties, their lo-fi experiment electronic pop inspired Mute Records’ Daniel Miller to call them “The Maiden Aunts of Techno”. Those timeless mega anthems, synonymous with that era like Living On The Ceiling followed, before they called it a day. Then, all of a sudden, 11 years ago, the project materialised again. Paul caught up with Neil, a true eighties survivor on something of a creative roll now. Lees meer

Marie Davidson

Montreal based producer and electronic musician Marie Davidson chats with Paul about her creative processes. Her caustic, often spoken vocals, sung in both English and French, provide a droll, razor sharp counterpoint to the club energy of tunes like Work It and albums Working Class Women and Adieux Au Dancefloor, and recently, her artistic evolution has been leading her music, led by feel, into unexpected sonics. Marie and Paul chat about energy, attitude and instinct in music. Lees meer

No other DJ epitomises the love of music as music in quite the same way as this week’s guest. JD Twitch aka Keith McIvor began the legendary club night (and more recently label) Optimo (Espacio) in Glasgow ’97 with Johnny Wilkes to play the kind of music that they never heard out.

Miki Berenyi
27 september 2022 · 59 min
Trailblazing indie icon and now author Miki Berenyi joins Paul for a frank and open chat on the eve of the release of her memoir Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success. Lees meer
In the nineties, her band, Lush, makers of ethereal, jangly yet citrus-sharp pop music signed to 4AD and their albums Gala and Spooky inadvertently perhaps helped define what was just becoming termed by the music press as shoegaze. Their 1996 album, Lovelife, recorded during the height of Britpop moved the band higher into the charts with the caustic hit Ladykillers - a song which basically pre-dates the notion of the softboi by a good twenty years.
Miki was the cool as flame-haired frontperson of the sharpest indie gang: a little bolshy, cig in hand, spinning dreampop, yet, as her memoir goes into, music was a way of finding her voice and connecting with people through an eventful, unorthodox upbringing. Miki and Paul chat about finding spaces of social connection within scenes, the perils of music press and so much more.

Editors
16 september 2022 · 44 min
Having Mercury nominated, platinum selling indie rockers Editors on Lost And Sound might seem somewhat a curveball, but then so to is the band asking Benjamin John Power, aka electronic composer and Ivor Novello winning Blanck Mass to join as a full time member. Round about the time Editors were setting indie dancefloors alight with their mid noughties anthems, Munich and Blood, Benjamin was setting volumes alight as half of drone-rockers Fuck Buttons. It’s such an usunual pairing and Paul caught up with Benjamin alongside synth player Elliot Williams to talk about how an epic alt band and an experimentally leaning electronic producer came together on their new album, EBM, about 80s pop and industrial and lots more.
