Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys

Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys, a Berlin-based art-pop and tender noise ensemble, have captivated audiences across Europe with their atmospheric and intense performances. Led by South African-born artist Lucy Kruger (guitar and vocals) and featuring Liú Mottes (guitar), Jean-Louise Parker (viola and vocals), Gidon Carmel (drums), and Reuben Kemp (bass), the band’s music is both intimate and angular—droning and dream-like in moments, driving, direct, and on the edge of desperation in others. Caringly confrontational. 

Their latest album, A Human Home, released on May 31st, is a lo-fi, intimate collection exploring themes of belonging and home. The album features a mix of accidental and deliberate remote collaborations, capturing a unique, personal, yet universally resonant moment. 

Lucy Kruger’s voice has also featured on recent releases by Swans, The Underground Youth, and The Frank Popp Ensemble. In June 2023, the band received the Europavox Spotlight Prize, and Lucy was selected for the Keychange initiative, a global network promoting gender equality in the music industry.
