Things have been incredibly busy since our new album ‘Now I Swim’ was released in June. We have just come back from a weekend opening up a new sculpture by Nicky and friend Tony Broomhead in Llanelli last weekend. More here if you are interested!

Sales of our new white vinyl album ‘Now I Swim’ are going well and we have posted off copies all over the world - from Australia to Ireland and Gibraltar to Enfield! We have had some fantastic feedback to the album since its release and hope you have been able to listen. If you would like to order a copy of the vinyl, please visit our bandcamp page here:

The following week we will be travelling to Wales, to headline the Friday evening music slot at the Campout Festival. This unique family friendly festival invites festival goers to come together in the beautiful Abergavenny countryside to connect as a community.

Last week, we performed for the first time as a 5 piece ensemble at our local grassroots festival Livestock! It was so much fun and wonderful to play together with our amazing friends and musicians Jeremy, Tim and Mel.

2025 is a big year!

After carefully crafting our new record ‘Now I Swim’ with multi talented artist and producer Gerry Diver, we are now getting ready to share it with you.

28 February saw the release of the debut single Something Different, a bright and entrancing song about relationships evolving over time. We’re getting a wonderful response to it and really enjoyed our live session and interview with Gaby Roslin on her BBC London Show on 23 February.

We are releasing one more single, “Pick up the Pieces” from the record on 11 April before the full album release on 6 June 2025.

With hauntingly beautiful melodies, intricate guitar work and evocative lyrics, “Now I Swim” delves deep into the human experience, weaving tales of resilience and hope that transcend time and place. Drawing from their own family history and the collective memory of others, this album promises to resonate with listeners on a deeply emotional level.

Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear about our gig, vinyl news and behind the scenes activity.

Lost Chimes family members will also be invited to exclusive launch and listening party event. More to follow soon.
