Member SpotlightIntroducing: Lost Puppy

by Steve Cherkassky October 12, 2020

In getting to know this artist, I’ve come across some interesting tidbits about Lost Puppy’s career during my research. First, if you haven’t already heard their single Divebomb, then I can’t recommend it enough. Check it out on Lost Puppy’s profile. It’s definitely cover-worthy.

Hailing from sunny Los Angeles, California, Lost Puppy’s sound carries a sensitive weight that definitively echoes the influence of artists like Elliott Smith, Death Cab for Cutie, and Frank Ocean to name a few. The lyrics to his latest single, Divebomb, are filled to bursting with poetic imagery of sensations like paranoia, frustration, and a deep, sorrowful longing.

While creating the song, Lost Puppy was inspired by the soft vocals of Arthur Russell, imitating their timbre during the first few songwriting sessions.

Poetic Images And New Sounds

In an interview with Kill The Music, when asked about the primary themes of his songs, lead songwriter Steve Cherkassky said that “the themes are often poetic narratives of personal events, and intense emotional experiences.

“I love any sort of EPIC imagery that tugs at those heartstrings.”

I definitely see my songs evolving into something more straightforward lyrically. Not as much metaphor” continued Cherkassky, who has recently turned into a more IndiePop/EmoTrap direction. “As for the music itself, I never want to feel shackled by genre or subject matter. It’s always such an incredible feeling to discover a new creative element within oneself.”

Indiscovered would like to offer a warm welcome to Lost Puppy and all of their future creative endeavors!
