Our Take

In their latest release, "Personna," French post-rock powerhouse Lost in Kiev set out to explore the depths of human experience through an intricate blend of expansive soundscapes and haunting melodies. With a title inspired by the idea of the self as a mask, the album takes listeners on a cinematic journey through the complexities of identity and existence.

From the opening track, "Molecule," Lost in Kiev waste no time in throwing us headfirst into their lush sonic universe. Layers of ethereal guitars and pulsating drums build and swell, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that is as beautiful as it is intense. The dynamic shifts in tracks like "Lifelooper" and "Persona" keep us on our toes, constantly challenging our expectations and drawing us deeper into the enigmatic world of the album.

While Lost in Kiev are clearly masters of their craft, there are moments on "Personna" where their ambition gets the better of them. The overwrought production on tracks like "Mindfiles" and "Red Spiral" can feel a bit overwhelming at times, veering dangerously close to melodrama. But even in these moments of excess, there is no denying the sheer skill and talent behind the music.

In the end, "Personna" is a bold and ambitious statement from Lost in Kiev, showcasing their ability to push the boundaries of post-rock while still delivering a deeply emotional listening experience. With its soaring highs and introspective lows, this album is sure to resonate with fans looking for something truly transcendent.
