The Lost Gecko

At the heart of the Lost Gecko is singer and songwriter Malcolm Urquhart. Urquhart cites as main artistic influences Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Elvis Presley, Smashing Pumpkins, Ben Howard, and John Butler. Audiophiles will mostly detect in the music of the Lost Gecko vocal elements of Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, along with songwriting that blends Bon Iver’s neo-folk with the intensity of Sigur Ros and the powerful delivery of Smashing Pumpkins. This undercurrent of grunge-era passion runs throughout the Lost Gecko’s music, charging its mellow folk tones with an intensity not often found in the genre
