Previously on Lost

Category: Lost-inspired music

Previously On Lost is a band that began with Jeff Curtin and Adam Schatz, two friends who met in New York City.

Through previous collaborations the pair birthed the new pop genre: “Recapitulation Rock.” Throughout season 4 of Lost, they recorded weekly songs that reflected on each episode and have now garnered an impressive fandom across the United States, as well as in Brazil, Uruguay, Italy and France.

Their album “The Tale of Season 4 and the Oceanic Six“ contains 13 songs, each written and recorded the Sunday after the episode aired. They were eventually hired by ABC to write a song for the finale of Season 5.

They’ve since completed a second album featuring songs from season 5 and have been touring the U.S. with their seven piece live band. Watch their music video for the song “Be My Constant.”

The Ballad of Jack and Kate

“Be patient Rose, we’ll be ready for the freighter. I’ll propose to Kate, sorry to the Skaters…” —lyrics from The Ballad of Jack and Kate by The Others Lost Band

The Others Lost Band not only earns points for their willingness to take shots at shippers, they also score with brilliant song titles such as Dharmaville Party, The Monster and Never Say Never Dude.

The band has written a song to honor every episode in Lost seasons 4 and 5 and most episodes from season 3. While watching the show, Shannon Purcell, the band’s songwriter takes notes and listens closely for lines that might make a good hook or chorus. He then takes the lyrics to the band (Blake Girndt—multi-instrumentalist/recording engineer, Gabe Sullivan—vocals, Eric Lee—violin and Thomas Foster—Bass) and over the following days they flesh out an arrangement and record the song.

Their CD featuring songs from all the episodes in season 5 was released this past August  and many of the new tunes are so catchy they’re liable to get stuck in your head for hours. Best part: The lyrics come in a nifty little “Faraday journal.”
