Since forming in 2007, We Lost the Sea has always strived to be more than just a “Post-Rock” band.
Its latest effort, ‘A Single Flower’ (2025), fuses elements of crushing riffs with electronic, cinematic, and even neoclassical styles, resulting in an immersive, emotive, and dramatic musical journey.
The new album caps off a turbulent – but ultimately triumphant – decade for the band. Following the tragic death of vocalist and founding member Chris Torp in 2013, the band channeled their grief into a new instrumental sound, emerging with the now universally acclaimed album ‘Departure Songs’ (2015).
The album’s concept of tragic heroism (with accompanying art by guitarist Matthew Harvey) catapulted the band to global attention and saw the band perform across Europe and Asia for the first time. Its follow-up record, ‘Triumph and Disaster’ (2019), further boosted the group’s profile, with successful tours throughout its native Australia, China, Europe, and the UK following its release.
The touring cycle for ‘A Single Flower’ begins with the band’s first tour of the USA, followed by two appearances at the UK’s renowned ArcTanGent Festival, and more global dates to follow. Armed with their most ambitious album yet, the next decade promises to be just as successful as the last for We Lost the Sea.
