Indie Pop

For his latest set of recordings, it felt important to Blair that he make Lostboycrow "feel more like a band," something Blair had begun to do on Valleyheart but sought to expand when working with Chu. Chris Chu, who performs with POP ETC (formerly known as The Morning Benders), built his career touring with '00s indie-pop staples like Grizzly Bear, Death Cab For Cutie, Ra Ra Riot, We Are Scientists, and more, so he was the perfect person to produce the record. "That's always been what I love," Blair explains of his musical history spent listening to decades-spanning pop-rock bands like the Beach Boys and Fountains Of Wayne. Through working with one of his musical heroes and good friends, Blair crafted the most expansive, ambitious project of his career.
