Lost In Kyiv Shatter the Glass on New Single “Becoming” Feat. Rebecca Need-Menear of i Häxa & Anavae

French post-metal architects Lost In Kyiv have spent more than a decade carving out a sound that feels equal parts cinematic, electronic, and physically devastating. With their new single “Becoming,” they take that hard-earned identity and crack it wide open — quite literally, by their own admission.

The track is the third single from their forthcoming album We’re All Going To Be Fine, due June 19 via Pelagic Records, and it marks a first for the band: a collaboration with a female vocalist. That vocalist is Rebecca Need-Menear, known for her work in i Häxa and Anavae, and her ghostly, weightless delivery sits at the molten center of the song.

“If the album explores the tension between hope and inner collapse, ‘Becoming’ is the moment the glass shatters and your eyes finally open,” the band shared. “It is our most atmospheric and melodic song on the album, elevated by our first-ever collaboration with a female singer. Rebecca Need-Menear perfectly embodies this fragile state between dreaming and living.”

Tenderness and tension move in lockstep throughout “Becoming.” Acoustic instrumentation threads itself through pulsing electronics, motifs surface quietly before swelling into wide, panoramic peaks, and silence is treated with the same intent as the crescendos. There’s a poetry to the pacing — patient, sculpted, and deeply human — that anchors the song’s emotional center in empathy rather than spectacle.

We’re All Going To Be Fine is the band’s most internal record to date. Where past albums like Nuit Noire, Persona, and 2022’s Rupture often turned outward, the new record digs into the fragility of the human psyche, the corrosive weight of modern life, and the unsettling idea that we so often become our own worst enemy. The band cites the work of Carl Gustav Jung (whose voice closes the album) alongside the existential ache of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Melancholia as touchstones.

Sonically, the album pushes their signature integration of the organic and the synthetic into sharper relief. Guitars surge in widescreen arcs, shimmering one moment and thrashing through walls of distortion the next. Sequenced synth lines, arpeggiators, and sculpted electronic textures give the record a constant forward propulsion, while the dynamics breathe with the patience of a film score.
