Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys is an art-pop tender-noise band known for its openness to sonic transformation. Formed in 2015 by South African-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lucy Kruger, the project found its ethereal identity after relocating to Berlin in 2018. Their sound balances between restraint and release – between whisper and howl – exploring the tension of emotion through both delicacy and feral energy.

On stage, the band creates an immersive and visceral atmosphere, shifting fluidly between intimacy and abandon. Kruger’s haunting, magnetic voice meets the intuitive interplay of Liú Mottes (guitar), Jean-Louise Parker (viola), Gidon Carmel (drums), and Andreas Bonkowski (bass). Their music has drawn comparisons to PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, blending tenderness with raw power.

Following the acclaimed Tapes Trilogy (2019–2022), the band released Heaving (2023) – a record preoccupied with the body and its unspoken urgencies – and A Human Home (2024), a lo-fi reflection on connection and belonging. Their forthcoming album, Pale Bloom (2026), promises a glistening, emotional soundscape that awakens in the listener like a living pulse.
