Album Review: Holy Sons' Fourth Entry in the Lost Decade Series.
Briefly

Emil Amos explores the theme of nostalgia and the feeling of being an amorphous teenager in his podcast, "Drifter's Sympathy." He expresses a continuous fascination with reminiscing about the past, which is reflected in his music. The release of "Lost Decade IV" in 2025 showcases recordings made in the '90s that evoke a sense of wandering and transient living. The album features an Americana sound blended with '90s lo-fi influences, capturing the essence of a time spent making art while navigating life through various challenges.
The songs of Lost Decade IV fade in and out of clarity, presenting an Americana melded with '90s lo-fi touchstones, the rock and roll greats, patron saints of the lonely.
Lost Decade - the first in the series - was released in 2000, marking the inaugural output under the Holy Sons banner, and now, in 2025, Amos has released Lost Decade IV.
