Review by Rafa Poveda

Lost Bags by Dead Cat In A Bag: A Folk Odyssey You Didn’t Know You Needed Alright, let’s talk about Lost Bags—a hidden gem from 2011 that feels like someone handed you an old map scribbled with clues to their soul. This album is the brainchild of Dead Cat In A Bag (yes, that’s really the name), hailing from Italy and released under ViceVersa Records. It’s a mix of folk, world, country, and alternative vibes, but don’t go thinking this is your typical coffee shop playlist. Nope. Producer Marcello Caudullo didn’t just record it; he crafted it into something raw yet beautiful, like finding poetry scrawled on the back of a napkin. Now, there’s a lot to unpack here—14 tracks in total—but two songs stuck with me like gum on a shoe: “The Stow-Away Song (a Sea Shanty)” and “I Can’t Row No More.” Let me tell ya why. First up, “The Stow-Away Song.” Imagine standing on the deck of some creaky ship at twilight, wind whipping through your hair, while sailors belt out tales of adventure and heartbreak. That’s basically what listening to this track feels like. The melody has this rollicking energy, almost urging you to grab a rope and swing across the rigging. But beneath all the fun, there’s a bittersweet undertone—a longing for somewhere or someone left behind. By the second chorus, I swear my feet were tapping so hard they nearly fell off. Then we’ve got “I Can’t Row No More,” which hits different. Like, emotionally gut-punch different. Picture yourself adrift on a tiny boat, arms burning as you try to paddle toward shore, but giving up because life just keeps throwing waves at you. That’s the vibe. The lyrics are hauntingly simple, and the instrumentation strips everything down to its bare bones, leaving only raw emotion. When the singer croaks out those words—"I can’t row no more"—it’s not just a line; it’s a confession, a surrender. And honestly? It wrecked me. What makes Lost Bags stand out isn’t just the music—it’s how real it feels. These aren’t polished pop tunes designed to rack up streams. They’re stories, snapshots, little pieces of humanity stitched together by folks who clearly poured their hearts into every note. Sure, the production might feel a bit lo-fi at times, but that’s part of its charm. It’s like overhearing a private moment instead of watching a big-budget spectacle. So yeah, if you’re looking for something fresh—or maybe just weird enough to shake up your usual rotation—give Lost Bags a spin. Just be warned: once these tunes get stuck in your head, they don’t leave easy. Oh, and one last thing: I still can’t figure out if the band’s name is genius or completely bonkers. Either way, it works.
