When Lost Lander's Matt Sheehy sings, "It feels like we've been walking on wire," we can relate.

KEXP is proud to present the premiere of the song, "Walking on a Wire," from the soon-to-be-released new Lost Lander album, Medallion.

The new album, Medallion, is set for release on February 24, 2015. In the meantime, you can catch Lost Lander at the Sunset Tavern on Sunday, December 7, at 8PM, and in Oregon and Wenatchee on the days before. Find out more on their Facebook page and start "Walking on a Wire" now:
