LOSTALONE RELEASE NEW SINGLE, ‘DO YOU GET WHAT YOU PRAY FOR?’ PLUS A UK TOUR FOR SPRING 2012

LostAlone are set to release the first single from their forthcoming sophomore album. ‘Do You Get What You Pray For?’ will be available along with exclusive non album track, ‘SuperZhero’. An acoustic version of the single will also be available on the iTunes version only.

The band spent five weeks recording in Los Angeles during May 2010 with acclaimed producers, Jacknife Lee (Weezer, U2, REM, Bloc Party), Greg Wells (Mika, Deftones, Katy Perry), executive producer Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance). ‘Do You Get What You Pray For?’ was produced by Greg Wells and mixed by Mark Needham (Killers, Fleetwood Mac, MCR). Singer Steven Battelle says “We chose this as our first single because both musically and lyrically it perfectly represents a bridge between our first and second records as well as being a song of complete emotional abandon.”

LostAlone have announced that their second album, titled ‘I’m A UFO In This City’ will finally see the light of day with a release set for 5th March 2012 (4th March 2012 digitally) via Graphite Records. Singer Steven Battelle says “Recording with Jacknife Lee and Greg Wells opened up new ways of recording to us and enabled us to achieve the ambition I had always had for the band, being let loose in such amazing studios was our dream and we utilised everything they had to offer. I feel as though we’ve made a giant leap forward from our debut album and in terms of how I hear LostAlone in my head, we are now closer than ever. ”

The track listing for ‘I’m a UFO In This City’ is as follows: 1. Obey The Rules You Lose. 2. Love Will Eat You Alive 3. Paradox On Earth 4. UFOria (The Dark) 5. Vesuvius 6. Creatures 7. Orchestra Of Breathing 8. Put Pain To Paper 9. Do You Get What You Pray For? 10. We Are The Archaeology Of The Futures Past 11. The Downside Of Heaven Is The Upside Of Hell

LostAlone have also announced that they will be embarking on a mammoth UK/Irish tour supporting InMe in spring 2012 before heading to Europe for their own headline tour.
