Lineup 2018
Lost Cousins
Kingston, ON
Family isn’t always bound by blood. In the case of Lost Cousins it is bound through the kindred connection found in their distinct blend of psychedelic rock. Coming together as students in Kingston, ON, Dylan Cantlon Hay, Cam Duffin, Lloyd McArton and Thomas Dashney had humble beginnings at house concerts and basement performances, where they became known for their high-energy live shows and memorable songwriting.
Making use of gang vocals, delay-drenched guitars, and dreamy synthesizers, the four-piece continues to experiment with sonic boundaries and sprawling shifts in dynamics. Incorporating celestial textures and creative rhythms, the Toronto-based quartet combines influences from the past with soulful lyrics to create groove-oriented songs that feel both honest and alive.
