Lost Girls - Live at Le Guess Who? 2023

Lost Girls is the Norwegian duo made up of experimental guitarist Håvard Volden and former LGW curator Jenny Hval. Their latest album, 2023's Selvutsletter, continues the intuitive, late night feel of the group's previous work with topics such as cities after dark, music rituals, band practices of the ‘90s, and the early days of the internet.

The band performed live on the opening night of Le Guess Who? following the release Selvutsletter; relive the performance with the full audio recording of the show:

"Lost Girls is named for a graphic novel by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie in which three great heroines of fantasy literature—Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, Wendy from Peter Pan, and Alice of Wonderland—meet as adults and share their most disturbing and erotic memories. On Selvutsletter, Hval slips into rabbit hole after rabbit hole, and all we can do is follow her down" - Pitchfork
