Alt Pop Artist Lostboycrow Shares New Album; Announces Tour With Nicotine Dolls
April 23, 2025 BY Bailey Vigliaturo
Los Angeles alt-pop artist Lostboycrow shares fourth studio album, The Sound Of God Laughing. The record was written and recorded alongside Sam Beresford (Winnetka Bowling League) with the intention of letting go, giving into creative freedom, and exploring new worlds within each track. He explains, “I’d love for people to step inside of these songs. The process of this last year was about getting back to the music at its core. With this album, the sound opened itself back up to experimentation. We weren’t limited by any parameters. I’m appreciating a lot of different styles and influences. It’s not just one vibe. It was fun to kind of just roll up my sleeves and be a kid again.” The album includes features with Jillian Rossi on “Dirty Dancing” and DYSN on “Summer Boy.”

Today, to celebrate the release, he also shares the video for “Kyle Was A Cool Goth,” a sultry ode to teenage angst our individual evolutions. The origins are somewhat rooted in reality, he explains, “I hate to be too literal with it, but I was working on a film up in Canada and one of the producers was named Kyle,” he laughs. “In passing one day, another producer mentioned, ‘Kyle was a cool goth back in the day.’ I was immediately like, ‘Well, I can’t not write a song called that now.’ It’s very specifically about my friend Kyle, but it’s also really about anybody that will ever exist. We all grow, pivot, and evolve.”

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Chris Blair grew up singing along to his parent’s Beatles cassette tapes and religiously watching that thing you do. It was not until high school that he picked up a mic and started performing everywhere he could, from showtunes in the gymnasium to pop-punk in a local dive. He later established his genre-fluid style with 2016’s Sigh For Me EP, which he followed up with 2017’s Traveler EP trilogy, 2019’s full-length Santa Fe, and 2021’s Valleyheart, and 2022’s Indie Pop. Lostboycrow has received praise from Billboard, Nylon, Earmilk, and more and has shared the stage with peers like Flor, Echosmith, K.Flay, and VÉRITÉ. He spent the latter half of 2024 on North American tours with Switchfoot, The Strike, and Nico Vega. His catalog has over 150 million streams.
