The past is forever bleeding into the present on Lost Vagus, Katie Cruel's debut due this September. Recorded on Radar in a cow barn, Cruel’s record is an intoxicating collection of tainted love songs that float within the trademark reverb and space perfected by Grammy-winning engineer and producer Mark Howard. On Lost Vagus, Cruel and Howard joined forces to produce the album, creating an undeniable synergy that elevates these deceptively simple and subtly layered songs into the velvet fog.
