The Lost Brothers' fourth album, "New Songs Of Dawn and Dust", is the start of something new for the Irish duo. Their previous release, 2012's "The Passing Of The Night", was the closing chapter in a trilogy of records that started with their debut album "Trails of the Lonely" in 2008.
Since forming in Liverpool in 2007, the songwriting duo has chosen to collaborate with other artists on each album, recording in Portland with Mike Coykendall and Adam Selzer, in Sheffield with Richard Hawley's band and in Nashville with Brendan Benson and members of Old Crow Medicine Show and The Cardinals, respectively. So it's somehow fitting the band have returned to Liverpool, to record the first of a new trilogy with Bill Ryder-Jones, solo artist and former guitarist of local heroes The Coral, at the production helm.
Recording was scheduled to begin when Ryder-Jones returned from touring as guest guitarist with the Arctic Monkeys. "Everyone was busy so we waited til the stars aligned and then went for it! We felt like we had a dream team of pals to make the album we really wanted." explains Oisin. "We flew in from appearing on Russian national TV in Moscow straight into the studio to record the record."
From the thirty songs written on the road, fifteen were selected for the studio, recording twelve and nine appearing on the album with three instrumentals. All recorded and mixed in seven days at Parr Street Studios.

October 2012 saw The Lost Brothers complete an extensive US tour with Glen Hansard and in March 2013 they played the legendary Midnight Ramble at the Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, followed by the Midnight Ramble Concert For Levon in Texas.
"This new album steps away from the strictly folk/americana thing and opens up a new door for us," says Oisin.
"New Songs Of Dawn and Dust" will be the duo's second full length release on British indie Lojinx. The album will be out on 22nd September.
