Lost Cause is the twenty-first album by Jandek, and his only of 1992. Corwood Industries release #0759, it marks the end of the "electric phase" and, really, of an era. It features a little of all the styles on the previous twenty albums, and ends with a very raucous sidelong abstract improvisation called "The Electric End."

Reviews
Side one has 7 non-datable tracks of depressed blues-destroying ramble... Early optimism on the opening tracks transmutes into full desolation by the closing hack-gulps at the end... “The Electric End” is a nineteen-plus minute excursion into frothful extremes. Piercing electro-search guitar, revolutionary ultra-primitive drumming, lost-mind vocalism of real cracked creation and some sort of high end squeal (a penny whistle?) combine in an incredibly wasted fashion.
-- Jimmy Johnson Forced Exposure #18
