Fabled visionary and saxophonist Donny McCaslin - pivotal as the musical director on David Bowie's Blackstar - presents 'Lullaby for the Lost'. Fabled visionary and saxophonist Donny McCaslin - pivotal as the musical director on David Bowie's Blackstar - presents 'Lullaby for the Lost', an album that captures the raw emotion of improvised jams while shaping them into deliberate and powerful forms. With longtime collaborators Jason Lindner (keys) Zach Danziger and Nate Wood (drums), Jonathan Maron (bass), and Ben Monder (guitar) alongside him, McCaslin fuses deft, idiosyncratic sax riffs and tasteful synth textures with the primal energy of Neil Young, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against The Machine, and Radiohead. 'Lullaby for the Lost' sounds like a cinematic adrenaline rush - fierce, soulful, and timeless. Produced by bassist and composer Tim Lefebvre and mixed by Dave Fridmann - one of the most influential sonic innovators of his generation and known for his work with The Flaming Lips and MGMT - 'Lullaby for the Lost' is a playground of sound. Treating the saxophone like a lead vocal, McCaslin leans into the urgency and edge of the music, delivering a record that feels immediate, focused, and of it's time without chasing nostalgia. This is a fierce goodbye to the shadows of the past - a raw, unspoken invitation to lose yourself, confront your struggles, and turn them into strength, drenched in unstoppable emotion.
