Get ready to indulge in one of our favorite interviews yet! We got the opportunity to speak in-depth with Lost on the Metro all about their debut album, Letters and Landlines. Watch our interview below.

Made up of Jill Morey, David Morey, and Josh Rathje, Lost on the Metro are a St. Louis-based trio that are putting together a wide variety of genres that perfectly encapsulate everything great about music. Whether you’re into grunge, alternative, indie folk, or generally anything else, their debut Letters and Landlines is virtually guaranteed to pique your interest. Even better, we got all the important details from the musicians behind the record in a full interview we highly encourage you to check out. 

To begin, it was a bit shocking to find out that such greatness had been created by just three individuals. Getting to hear all about the band’s process of creation had to have been the highlight of our talk, mainly because it’s a way of going about things that we’d never run into. Basically the process has turned into Jill’s poetry becoming lyrics, then David creating guitar instrumentals for those lyrics, and then finally bringing the raw and unfinished song to Josh who then works on polishing everything up. Truly, it’s like a conveyor belt system that somehow ended up turning poetic passages into the impeccable album you’re going to experience today.

Seriously though, getting to speak with this group of immensely talented musicians was the highlight of our day. It’s not often we get the full band for an interview, but when we do, the conversation always feels to expand in a positive way and the answers are infinitely more interesting given the perspective gained. While the main priority of this all is for you to check out Letters and Landlines, we still recommend making it a priority to watch or listen to the interview, an absolute pleasure!

Wrapping it all up though, there’s not a single negative thing we could say about the album as a whole. For us, it was a cohesive listening experience, which mainly means we suggest you start at the beginning and let it flow through to really capture the essence of what they were going for. Additionally, we’ve linked everything important below so that you can listen and follow along for more, we know we will be!
