Watch Shoegazers Timelost's Trippy New "Lysergic Days" Video

Members of Woe and Set and Setting team for something decidedly not metal

Featuring members of instrumental rock band Set & Setting and black-metal crew Woe, Philadelphia's Timelost call on classic shoegaze influences such as Slowdive and Swervedriver, and their new music video, for the song "Lysergic Days," is the perfect accompaniment to their sound. Set in a church, the visual features oversaturated shots of the band layered for maximum psychedelic effect, punctuating some of the choral vocal patterns and making for an overall tripped-out experience. The track itself is a driving melodic ode that is a far cry from the previous work of band members Shane Handal (Set & Setting) and drummer Grzesiek Czapla (Woe). 

"I've always been into the more sad and melodic, in addition to heavy and aggressive side of music," points out Handal. "There was an idea to start a dreamy/sad rock band in my head for years, and then when Grzesiek and I first had the conversation of starting a project together, it was something in the back of my mind. We didn't really know what we were going to sound like, but we agreed to not do something metal, and I think we were both excited by the idea of trying something new and different than what we have been doing for a decade. This was never a fuck off to our past in metal, but purely musical growth and exploration." 

Czapla drives the point home, adding, "We've been doing the same thing for so long, and the only thing intentional about Timelost was that we wanted to play together. We've been each others' confidants in music for too long and finally decided to give playing music together a shot. We didn't set out for a particular style, but def agreed it couldn't be metal. We've just done enough of that and wanted to see where else this would go. It was so freeing to work on music with absolutely no template, expectation, or prediction of where it could go and end up. I think that shows in the songs, too." 

Timelost's LP Don't Remember Me For This is due via Golden Antenna (CD/LP in Europe), To Live a Lie Records (cassette) and TIMELOST (CD/LP/Digital in North America) later this year.
