Exclaim
An unflinching honesty permeates the album: Khan channels anxieties over loving too strongly on "Safe Tonight," while "Mountains" finds comfort in reflection. Pleasure and happiness live alongside unease on Lost Girls

On “Lost Girls” Khan is unashamed in utilizing what has become trademark 80’s sonics and making them her own. For listeners who came of age in the ’80s, there is significant enjoyment trying to envision which songs would be best paired with the movies of that era

Like Stranger Things, everything about it is unashamedly nostalgic: the power drums, the moody atmospherics, the arpeggiated synths

This has to be Natasha Khan’s most playful album yet, recorded for pleasure in the US and centred around a desert-dwelling blood-sucking girl gang

Just like the movies from that period, you have to accept a number of cliches to truly enjoy the ride. Nevertheless, most of the tracks fare well when taken out of context and are easy to get into

The 405
The production on Lost Girls seems so indebted to the idea of ramming the 80s vibe down the throat of the listener that many of the actual songs are lost, buried under the bland sheen of synths and weak sub-Soulboy style basslines
