Lost & Profound

Lost & Profound is a Canadian folk rock band that originated in the early 1990s.[1] Originally from Calgary, Alberta, where they began under the name The Psychedelic Folk Virgins, the band consisted of vocalist Lisa Boudreau and guitarist Terry Tompkins, with a varying roster of supporting musicians that included Anton Evans on bass, Vic D'Arsie on keyboards, and Curtis Driedger, Allen Baekeland and David Quinton-Steinberg on drums.

After moving to Toronto, the band released the independent cassette The Bottled Romance of Nowhere before changing their name to Lost & Profound and contributing the songs "All Consuming Mistress" to the 1991 compilation album Moose: The Compilation and "How Many Times" to its 1992 sequel Moose Lodge.

Boudreau and Tompkins, signed as Lost & Profound to PolyGram Records in 1992, released their self-titled debut produced by Richard Bennett scoring a Top 20 hit with the single "Brand New Set of Lies".[1] Other singles from the album included "Curb the Angels" and "Winter Raging".[1] They garnered a Juno Award nomination for Most Promising Group at the 1993 Juno Awards, but lost to Skydiggers.

The band followed up with Memory Thief released on PolyGram Records in 1994, which spawned the singles "Miracles Happen" and "Invitation". Memory Thief was also produced by Richard Bennett and featured musicians Jamie Stewart (bass), Kenny Greenberg (guitar), and Michael Organ (drums). Boudreau and Tompkins recorded a faithful recreation of Some Velvet Morning, the 1967 psychedelic duet by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood for inclusion on Memory Thief. Producer Bennett brought in arranger Billy Strange to conduct his original orchestral score from the 1967 Sinatra/Hazelwood session.[1]

The band's 1996 album Love's Sweet Messenger was less successful on the charts. Boudreau and Tompkins subsequently pursued a different direction, releasing an album in 2001 under the name redsuedered.[2]

After a prolonged break, Boudreau and Tompkins reunited as Lost & Profound in 2015, releasing a new album Goodbye Mine.[3]
