about

James Dean, producer & man behind the Cookshop record label, steps out from the shadows to don his Lost Idol alias & deliver his second full length lp 'Brave The Elements'. It has been quite a wait since 2006’s critically acclaimed ‘Utters From A Cluttered Mind’, however Lost Idol has spent this time carefully developing a sound that moves away from the psychedelic songcraft of his debut & into a predominantly instrumental oeuvre that reflects his love for electronica, ambient, krautrock, soundscapes & beyond. For those aware of Dean’s musical background this period of development should come as no surprise. From his initial cinematic sample-based work as Lost Idol for the late, great Pork label & his electronic output as J-Spool for Marco Passarani’s Nature imprint through to his work on his own Cookshop label he has constantly strived for an idiosyncratic style that coherently blurs the lines between tags & genres.

‘Brave The Elements’ is a record that does just that; it is an emotive listen that dares to be different & looks in at the world from Lost Idol’s unique creative viewpoint. Melodic, atmospheric & beguiling, this is an immersive record that reveals its beauty through repeated listens.

"Always a magpie, ‘Brave The Elements’ harnesses raw elements & deftly smelts them into something entirely different & wonderful" 4/5 - Q

"With the ability to throw you from crashing beats & uplifting melodies, to an abyss of dronings & bleak soundscapes it is what the fifth element would have created if she made an IDM record" – Flux

"Meaty & beat-driven at the core, dreamy & ethereal at the edges, ‘Brave The Elements’ is purists’ LP of liquid electronica" – Kruger
