Meet the Lost Souls
Frankie and the Lost Souls is an indie folk-rock band founded by wife and husband duo Erica and Sebastian in 2009 as Frankie and the Bass, a basement suite hobby that grew organically from their mutual lifelong love of live performance. The band has evolved from performing classic Canadiana campfire covers at open mics and busking on street corners to an existentially creative tour-de-force bringing to life Erica’s acoustic originals. With the 2023 addition of Lynkse on lead guitar, Nathalie on keys and background vocals in 2024 and the support of legendary Vancouver rocker Marq De Souza on drums for live performances, the band's sound has been elevated with driving riffs, melodic harmonies and emotive rhythms that hint at a nostalgia for a 90s and early 00s pop-rock soundscape that enrich Erica's dynamic lyrics exploring heartbreak and love, mental health, emotional conflict, and the overall unresolved nature of the human condition.
The band released their debut EP, Bloodlines, in August 2024. Recorded at Vancouver’s iconic Monarch Studios with Juno-nominated producer Tom Dobrzanski, the EP features three original songs with Leon Power (City and Colour) on percussion.
In March 2025, the Lost Souls returned to Monarch Studios to again work with Tom and Leon to record seven more original tunes which, along with remastered versions of the EP features, which has culminated in their debut LP, Human Condition, released March 2026.
