Adventure Lost Takes On a Musical Journey with Second Album 'Before the Memory Fades'

Philadelphia, PA (October 25, 2024) - Hailing from Philadelphia, the dynamic music group Adventure Lost unveils their much-anticipated second album, ‘Before the Memory Fades’, on October 25, 2024. This release promises to take listeners on a journey, featuring rich narratives and evocative soundscapes that showcase the band’s signature style. With melodies that easily resonate with fans of iconic groups like The Beatles, Coldplay, and Queen, the album’s innovative flavor draws audiences from all generations.

Jack Faracchio, the band’s lead vocalist, began working on the second album ‘Before the Memory Fades’ in March 2023, following a transformative five-month solo backpacking trip across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the USA. This concept album weaves together songs written over seven years into a dramatic narrative about pursuing one's heart despite risks, structured around three phases:

• Pre-Journey (Yearning): Songs that evoke anticipation and longing.
• During-Journey (Action & Experience): Tracks that immerse listeners in the adventure itself.
• Post-Journey (Acceptance, Memory & Reflection): Music that reflects on the aftermath and lessons learned.

This collection explores themes of existentialism and the quest for meaning, purpose, and belonging. Tracks “Ships!” and “It’ll All Be Over Soon” focus on psychedelic exploration, while the narrative confronts fears like failure, aging, and risk. It addresses moving on from lost romance and overcoming heartbreak in tracks such as “What Might Be” and “Love and Violence”, alongside issues of poverty highlighted in “Lucy’s Shoes.” Loneliness, depression, and insomnia are present, yet there’s a message of triumph through persistence in track, “On The Edge.” The tension between staying and leaving appears throughout, culminating in the titular track, “Before The Memory Fades”, ultimately reflecting on the relentless passage of time and finding eternity in the present.

While much of the album features precise orchestration and professional recording, several tracks serve as an “audio journal”, giving off its own vibe of authenticity. These include iPhone voice memos that Jack has collected during the journey. Some examples like “Mezzogiorno”, is an improvised phone recording from a lazy afternoon in Southern Italy. “The End of Forever” includes an iPhone clip of a very enthusiastic announcer bending the band’s name at a show. “Another Day in Bed” concludes with a verse from the original voice memo demo, creatively bridging the first and final recordings in full circle.

The album’s mix of hi-fi production and lo-fi source materials mirrors the balance of rough and polished moments in real life. Striving for equilibrium, rather than abstract perfection, becomes the overarching theme of the LP.

The album release show will take place on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 118 North in Wayne, PA, with support from Chirp (MI). This will be the debut performance of the revamped five-piece live band, showcasing the entire LP from beginning to end.

Adventure Lost is a musical project conceived in 2016 by Jack Faracchio and Larry Iaccio in Philadelphia, focused on transforming dreams into music. Known for their dramatic, passionate, inspiring, and occasionally whimsical style, they released their debut concept album “Going Back to Sleep” in 2017 and performed hundreds of energetic shows as a trio until the pandemic prompted a return to their roots.

After years of travel and songwriting while living the stories that would culminate into a new era of music, Adventure Lost was reborn in 2024 as a five-piece band with their second album, “Before The Memory Fades.” This 12-track concept album takes listeners on an emotional journey, blending genres to create a dynamic and uplifting experience. Each song contributes to a larger narrative about pursuing dreams and confronting fate.

Adventure Lost exists to transport the listener into their own musical universe - to immerse them in the stories, emotions, & lore of the characters living within their songs. With influences ranging from The Beatles and Queen to Motown and jazz, Adventure Lost is often categorized as Progressive-Pop, Alt-Rock, or Art Pop/Rock, showcasing their diverse musical complexity and storytelling prowess.
