Matt Sheehy, front­man of Lost Lander, is one of the busiest mem­bers of the Portland indie music scene. Before found­ing his cur­rent band, he was one half of the Gravity & Henry duo, played in Brent Knopf’s project Ramona Falls, and toured with Kaki King. He also pub­lished a solo record ‘Tigerphobia’ in 2008.

Lost Lander’s debut LP came out this January. A mile­stone in Matt’s jour­ney as a song­writer, ‘DRRT’ is his most refined work to date; it reminds me of early Genesis (led by Peter Gabriel) in the del­i­cacy of its arrange­ments and the heart­break­ing fragility of Sheehy’s voice. The credit for the over­all sound goes to Brent Knopf, who did an excep­tional job as pro­ducer, just like in the case of the lat­est Dear Reader album.
