This is the press kit for Lost in LA. Both bios below are drafts and are not yet approved for quotation. Where a fact or a file is missing, the gap is marked rather than filled.
Draft short bio, about 40 words
Lost in LA is a one-person synthwave project made in Los Angeles. No name is attached to it and there is no press photo. Nothing has been released yet. When there is a record, it will appear on the releases page.
Draft long bio, about 140 words
Lost in LA is a one-person synthwave project made in Los Angeles. Nothing has been released yet.
The name points at the real Los Angeles, and not at a story about it. Every place named on this site is a place with an address, and every hour described is an hour that comes around again. The writing about Los Angeles is collected in a section called The City. Nothing on any of those pages is invented, and any line can be checked against a map or a posted sign.
No name is attached to the project and there is no press photo, and that is a decision rather than a stage on the way to something else. When the first record is finished it will appear on the releases page, and the mailing list will say so the same day.
The about page covers the same ground at greater length. The City is the section the long bio names.
How to write the name
The project is written Lost in LA. Capital L on Lost and capital LA at the end, with no hyphen in it. The wordmark is set in all caps because that is how the logo is drawn. In running text the name stays Lost in LA.
Artist photographs
There are none. The project is anonymous, so a portrait would stand in for something that has never existed. Use one of the photographs on this site instead, and check the license on the credits page before you run it.
Logo and artwork
Logo and cover artwork files are not published yet. When they are, each will be linked here with its pixel dimensions and its format.
Genre and reference points
It is synthwave.
No comparisons are published.
Releases
Nothing has been released yet. There is already a page for the first single, and the releases index will list everything newest first. Every place to hear it will be gathered on one page.
Press contact
Write to hello@lostinla.net. It reaches the one person who makes this. The contact page sets out what else that address covers.
Terms of use
The text on this site and the Lost in LA wordmark belong to the project, and quoting them in a review or a listing is fine. The photographs are a separate matter. They are other people's work under Creative Commons licenses that carry their own attribution conditions, and each one is named on the credits page.
