LOST//YOUTH

Lost//Youth is an ethereal alt/rock duo from Cape Town, South Africa. Originally a four-piece, the group now explores a more acoustic sound with riffy alt inspired guitar, folk pop sensibilities and unfiltered vulnerability. 

 

Featuring songstress and poet Alanna Joy and guitarist Faghri Hendricks, the project is deeply personal and thrives on connection, catharsis and shared hope. Their new setup, while certainly more naked than their previous arrangement, allows them to explore storytelling more intimately and gives the lyrics and emotion their place in the spotlight. 

 

The group has toured South Africa extensively since their formation in 2021, with five national tours under their belt and the sixth to come in April of 2026. Their discography includes two Studio EPs and their ‘Voice Memos’ EP, which features phone recordings of songs as they were written - most of them only existing in this form, never having been played or recorded again since. Their latest single ‘Howl’ will hit streaming platforms on the 24th of April 2026.
