In this special episode of MyMusic, host Graham Coath sits down with Erick Vidal from the Canadian band Lost Pitch — and it’s a full-circle moment of musical nostalgia, creative insight, and candid laughs.
From the magic of Pink Floyd intros to the constraints of 2-minute streaming-era tracks, Erick and Graham dig deep into the evolution of songwriting. Why does every track need a hook on a hook on a hook? And what are we losing when we write solely for the algorithm?
Erick talks about his deep love for 90s British music (think Oasis, Blur, James, Radiohead), why OK Computer blew his mind, and how Lost Pitch is his way of carrying the spirit of that era forward — while still sounding fresh and relevant today.
🎧 Highlights include:
🎸 The story behind Lost Pitch’s brilliant name
🎛️ The analogue approach to recording and working with mastering legend Frank Arkwright
🎥 Hidden Easter eggs in their Speaking Silences video
🎵 Why “making music you want to listen to in your own car” is the truest measure of success
💿 The band’s upcoming debut album (expect real track lengths and full-bodied songwriting)
🕺 A surprisingly heartfelt endorsement of dad-dancing on TikTok
This one’s for music lovers who still believe in albums, authenticity, and having a bit of fun while doing it all.
💥 Listen now, add Speaking Silences to your playlist, and keep an eye out for more from Lost Pitch as they head toward their full album release later this year.
