Lonely Boys is an experimental art pop duo founded by Rosa Rendl and Daphne Ahlers in 2010 during their studies in London. Back in 2012/2013 I was a big fan of their slowly burning r&b ballads (check out "Dew" or "Go Down Easy" for example), but after that I sort of lost them from my radar. This month they are back with a "Best Of Lonely Boys" 2LP album, that compiles their favourite cuts from the Lonely Boys catalogue (on sides A and B), and pairs them with chosen solo tracks from FINI (Daphne Ahlers) and Rosa Rendl on sides C and D respectively. The whole album can be streamed now on their Bandcamp, and it's great reminder why I fell in love with their sound in the first place - just check out the mesmerising "Dominate". Lonely Boys' ghostly and sad pop sound is an amalgamation of the post-internet music scenes of the yesteryear that ruled the blogosphere, alongside their contemporaries Butterclock, Oklou, Palmistry and oFF Love (among many others).
