Lost Lander - Medallion

2015 release by the indie band. Before she died, Matt Sheehy's mother used to tell him about a dream shehad about Lost Land Lake-a place she spent part of her mid-western childhood. That dream inspired the name of the Juneau-born, Portland based songwriter's band, and her memory is imbued in Lost Lander's Medallion. If DRRT, the group's first independently released album, was about the confluence of nature and technology, Medallion concerns dualities - experiences of love and loss, impermanence and longevity, death and rebirth. Lost Lander's Medallion was recorded with producer Brent Knopf (Ramona Falls, Menomena), but also owes it's current form to Sheehy's bandmates; keyboardist Fennell, drummer Patrick Hughes and ex-bassist Dave Lowensohn. Medallion also features Beirut trumpet player Kelly Pratt, Akron/Family's Dana Jenssen, and new bass and guitar player, William Seiji Marsh.
