About the artist

Formed in 2015 by South African-born singer-songwriter and guitarist Lucy Kruger, the band took shape after relocating to Berlin. Here, the project evolved into a creative collective blending noise, vulnerability, and sonic experimentation.

The lineup features Lucy Kruger (vocals, guitar), Liú Mottes (guitar), Jean-Louise Parker (viola), Gidon Carmel (drums) and Andreas Bonkowski (bass).

Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys have earned acclaim for their visceral yet delicate performances. Their Tapes Trilogy explored identity, desire and transformation, while Heaving (2023) delved deep into the body’s raw instincts. The upcoming album Pale Bloom (2026) promises to expand their sonic and emotional reach even further.
