Lost Tourists expertly blend genre on single, "Sudden Clarity"
Sharing their first official non-demo single titled “Sudden Clarity”, we’ve found ourselves quickly falling in love with the sound of Lost Tourists. Please read on for our glowing review of the track, as well as a background on these emerging artists.
Made up of Saro, Kevork, and Noah, this musical trio have been jamming together since 2019. Currently representing the Montreal music scene, their project called Lost Tourists are essentially a rock group, but with so much other influence creeping in. On their latest song called “Sudden Clarity”, they immediately immerse the listener into this atmospheric world and don’t allow them to get off the ride until the journey is fully finished. Plain and simple, we thoroughly enjoyed this song and we think you all will too.
Inspired by other genres such as Funk, Jazz, Blues, and so many more, they’ve seamlessly included a bunch of those elements within the instrumental here. On the background of the track, they’ve noted that “Sudden Clarity” is about that “euphoric but short-lived moment of clarity that one experiences when they exit an anxious loop”. If you experience any amount of anxiety, chances are you’ve been there, but lyrically they’ve truly painted a picture of the difficult situation. What we enjoyed so much about this song is Lost Tourists draw you in with a feel good style and sound, but ultimately get you thinking once you start connecting the dots in the context.
Since we like this song so much, of course we had to check out their demos listed on their Spotify page. To no surprise in the slightest, we loved what we heard, especially the epic amount of funk featured on “Break Thru”. Going forward though, it’s going to be incredibly interesting to see how they further fuse their sound on their next releases. We love the blend they’ve got going on now, but any good band knows to experiment towards the beginning to really find what works best for them and the audience.
With all that being said, please don’t waste another moment not listening to “Sudden Clarity”. Keep up with Lost Tourists, listen, and stay tuned for more by checking out the important links below. Enjoy!
