Lost In Kyiv

Lost In Kyiv, the Ukrainian instrumental post-rock band, returns to Paris for a series of concerts. Discover their unique sound world at La Maroquinerie.

Lost In Kyiv is an instrumental post-rock band from Kyiv, Ukraine, formed in 2006. Composed of Dmytro Kostiuk (guitar), Sergiy Volkov (bass), and Oleksandr Smirnov (drums), the trio quickly established itself on the European scene thanks to a unique approach to the genre. Their music is characterised by rich and atmospheric compositions, where soaring melodies blend with powerful crescendos, creating evocative soundscapes without resorting to vocals. They have developed their own identity, drawing on the roots of post-rock while infusing it with their own melodic sensibility.

Their discography includes notable albums such as « Nuit  » (2012) and « Nuit Noire  » (2016), which were critically acclaimed for their emotional depth and technical mastery. These opuses allowed the band to refine their style, exploring increasingly complex sonic textures and varied dynamics. Lost In Kyiv is renowned for its ability to tell stories without words, each track being an invitation to an introspective journey. Their influences lie between bands like Mogwai for intensity and Explosions in the Sky for the epic dimension, while retaining a personal touch that distinguishes them.

Lost In Kyiv's live reputation is well-established. Their concerts are known for being immersive experiences, where the power of the sound and the precision of the execution transport the audience. The lighting, often minimalist but effective, helps to create a captivating atmosphere, amplifying the emotional impact of their music.
