In the spring of 2023 Lost Leaders' Byron Issacs and Peter Cole spent eight weeks in their upstate New York studio writing and recording songs exploring desire and acceptance, which became their fourth full-length release aptly titled "Hungry Ghosts". Isaacs also plays bass in The Lumineers but was able to take advantage of a break in their 2023 world tour to work on the album. Produced by the two of them and engineered and mixed by Cole, they have created their most adventurous record to date. With raw almost barebones production at times the record is spun from intertwining guitars and keyboard with the centerpiece of the duo's signature harmonies and trading of lead vocals. Lost Leaders was born in Levon Helm's barn where their first record was written and recorded. Originally it was just a group of songs written by the two longtime friends. At the time Byron was playing in Levon's band and so the two were invited to live and record at his barn for a few weeks. While recording they were invited to play the Midnight Ramble with Levon which essentially was their first gig and Lost Leaders were born with the resulting album garnering critical acclaim. "... a timeless sound that could have materialized just as easily in Laurel Canyon as in Woodstock, N.Y... a band out of time [and] perfectly in the now..." - RELIX "I love this album. I love it. I want to run out to the street and plug my earbuds into the nearest ears I can find and force them to listen to Lost Leaders... Among my top picks for this year... " - No Depression Upon release the single "I'm Gonna Win" was picked up in heavy rotation by AAA station WXPK in White Plains, NY and from there it spread across the country. With no label they chased the train as it was leaving the station. For the follow up L.P. Promises Promises, they worked with producer David Baron (The Lumineers, Jade Bird, Meghan Trainor, Vance Joy) After touring on and off in support of that record, the Jealous Sun E.P. emerged. The lead single "Long Way Down" was the most added song at Americana radio in June 2022 and landed in the top 100 nationally later that summer. In a strange and unexpected tangent Peter was cast in Hannah Ha Ha, the debut film from Jordan Tetwesky. The film went on to win Best Narrative Feature at Slamdance Film Festival and was screened at film festivals around the world. Peter's performance was even called out in a wonderful review in the New York Times.
