After the tall flames of their recent single, How About It? scorched the underside of patriarchal order with its pure, joyful, harmony-rich protest boogie, The Deep Blue return to a simmer to sing an indie-folk ode to never growing up with Lost Boy. Writing to unfathomable depths and sky-scaping heights as a still young band of strong voices, all weaved together into vines of unquestionable beauty, the release is the second to come from their upcoming EP, Sugarcoat.
 
Empathetic, looking both inwards and outwards, how The Deep Blue feel about the world around them is etched on their sleeves and branded onto every song they write. Where How About It? caught the band barely biting their tongue on body politics and the regularly bruising world order, Lost Boy links the four-piece’s innate musicianship, synced values and traffic-stopping vocals to repair a broken bridge between youth and growing up. With gentle tones, the song cradles those that have made the missteps that can easily befall people trying to make the leap alone.
 
The band says of the single: “Singing this song makes our hearts ache a little bit as our minds are inevitably drawn to someone we love who has lost their way. Clinging on to their youth just a little too tightly. Perhaps we all know a boy who has never made peace with adulthood? The life of the party and always the last to leave? It’s not only about those people, Lost Boy is also an ode to the young child within us all.”

Inching show-by-show and festival-by-festival closer to greater prominence with a sense of inevitability growing around their bedrock of artistic integrity and growing confidence, the band has added Truck Festival to their touring itinerary for summer having won the Band App vote to play. Winning votes came from respected indie industry tastemakers including So Young Magazine and John Kennedy of Radio X. A band that ably matches the highs to the heartbreak, Lost Boy’s release therefore comes at a time of untrammeled optimism.
 
Drifting together around the neighbourhoods of their adopted Manchester homes, the combined powers of Georgia, Niamh, Katie and Sophie started to be realised as The Deep Blue sometime during 2020’s repeated lockdowns. A purple patch of creativity has endured and, looking across to influences such as Flyte, Haim and The Staves, the band has released a run of impressive singles on top of their debut Taking On Water EP, released in 2021.
 
Drawing the faintest of lines between recording and live, a quickly growing fan base has experienced unforgettable, on-point performances from the band over the last two years, including a complete lock-out at Liverpool’s Sound City Festival and their SOLD-OUT homecoming at Manchester’s Deaf Institute.
