Me Lost Me

The project of multidisciplinary artist Jayne Dent, Me Lost Me unites tradition and technology by combining the storytelling of British folk with experimental electronics. Her juxtaposition of found sounds, loops, and timeless-sounding vocals and melodies heightens the connections between past and present within her music, as do the centuries-old songs she includes along with her own material, as on 2018's debut album Arcana. Me Lost Me's music became more conceptual with the postapocalyptic vignettes of 2020's The Good Noise and the alternate realities of 2023's video game-inspired RPG, both of which proved Me Lost Me was ready and willing to take folk into the future while honoring its roots.
