We've had a long time to digest the short output of Lost Film's minimal guitar pop so far, and we can safely say that the three original demos Jimmy Hewitt released earlier this year are some of the most memorable tracks of 2014. They're uncluttered, restraint, distant–yet comfortable all the same. His tunes come equipped with an inescapable calling of suburban imagery, one that's brought about by nostalgic guitar melodies and an almost disconnected vocal delivery from Hewitt. All of this is evident on his newly released demo "try," as Lost Film again never fails to evoke an empty longing in listeners; although, we've come to expect that by now. The track will be on the artist's upcoming full-length release come next year.
"a few years back in my cubicle days, I overheard two of my middle aged coworkers chatting about married life. one of them was recently engaged and half-jokingly asked the other for some advice. darrell, a guy not only known for being close-mouthed but also specializing in sarcasm, took a few seconds and responded with: "just don't forget to try". even though the surprisingly sincere advice wasn't directly given to me, I've always held onto it. This song was written about their conversation."
