Biography
There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Lost Desert was a French coldwave band, founded in 1986 in the suburbs of Paris, near Versailles. The name of the band was suggested by a friend and appreciated for its mysterious meaning. They found inspiration in bands like The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus, but also movies and visual art. Initially, the band was founded by two friends and their younger brothers. Feeling they could improve the vocals, they soon hired a female singer and started to play live in the Paris area, using a 4-track device for recording, usually with a drum machine.
Lost Desert released their first cassette "Heterogen Infiltration", an entirely homemade affair, down to the duplication, in 1989. This tape was sold in a few specialized record stores in Paris. A year later, New Horizon released the album "A travers le miroir", featuring both new versions of songs and fresh tracks. Several songs by the band can be found on various tape-only compilations, like: "Nos années folles", "Ineptie", "Mea Pulpa". The last track by Lost Desert was released in 1991 on "Supercherie", when the band didn’t even exist anymore.
2) Lost Desert is a psychedelic rock solo project from Barcelona, Spain. Released the album "Wasteland" in January 2014. Bandcamp page: http://lostdesert.bandcamp.com
