Yossi Lost Souls: Grit, Echoes, and the Beauty of the Breakdown

Yossi and the Word That Bites Back

Four years. That’s how long it’s been since Yossi dropped his debut EP For Some Reason. Then? Silence. Now? Boom – LOST SOULS. A three-track trip into the deep, dark, occasionally trippy corners of existence. If you’re allergic to depth, poetry, or soundscapes that feel like a lucid dream dipped in asphalt – maybe scroll on. But if you’re still here, buckle up.

Yossi creates with intention. He drops lines that make you pause mid-scroll and question your whole damn life. This time, he’s teamed up with Dylan Van Der Molen on production – and together, they’ve built something that pulls you in and keeps you close.

Track by Track Through the Void

LOST SOULS kicks open with The City. Picture London, but without the Instagram filter. Gritty. Bleak. Alive. An alt-hip-hop beat wraps around Yossi’s warped vocals like a too-tight scarf on a January morning. The vocals are enriched with a mysterious echo effect that follows the emotion like shimmering shadows. A melodic bell dances in and out of the fog. Euphoria on a leash. Then, just when you’re carried by the pulse, the track suddenly calms – like a fall from somewhere to… nowhere.

Next up – the title track, Lost Souls. Born in the barren weirdness of Covid lockdown. Dreamy pads and cinematic warped-swirls cushion Yossi’s voice – raw, heavy, and human. He tells the story of people – isolated, floating, detached from their communities and from themselves. It’s a mood piece. But not the boring kind. And right when you think it’s all too heavy, he drops a line like:

“Everything is perfect just the way it is right now,
And there’s a lot that still needs changing but we’ll figure it all out.”

Finally, we arrive at Tryfan. Written in Snowdonia – that jagged corner of the world where the air tastes older and the rocks feel like they’ve seen too much. The track moves like a conversation Yossi’s having with himself. Deep thoughts swirling in weird-like voice effects, each line rolling out like a mantra spoken from the edge of a cliff. The textures undulate, ominous and raw. Like wind slipping through ancient stone. It’s a soundscape that unpacks the psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical static of modern life. The kind that turns humans into house pets. And just when you think the mountain’s said enough, Yossi drops the final line: “This is my throne.”

Yossi Lost Souls – The Video

Then there’s the video. Lost Souls in motion. Violet hues. Stillness. Something about it makes your brain shut up for a moment. A rare thing these days. In this piece, nothing screams. It just is. Peaceful, disturbing, and gently psychedelic.

The Man Behind the Mic

Yossi builds with words and meaning. Award-winning actor, spoken word lifer, educational rebel – the man’s been cutting through noise for over 8 years. He’s performed at places with names that start with “The” and end with “Modern” or “BAFTA,” and he’s headlined nearly every spoken word joint in London worth mentioning.

He also co-founded Write2Speak, a Community Interest Company that gives people a voice – literally. Thousands of young folks and grownups learning how to express themselves, no filter needed. He lectures at East 15 Drama School, showing the next generation how to weaponize words with power, not posturing.

Yossi Lost Souls – So, What Now?

If you’re looking for the kind of music that punches you gently in the soul, go listen to LOST SOULS. Sit with it. Let it rattle the bones a bit. If you’ve been wondering what kind of weapon actually matters in 2025 – try the word. Spoken. Sung. Whispered. Raged. Yossi’s got it, and he knows how to use it.

You’ll find him where all good things hide – Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, YouTube. Go dig, you’ll figure it all out.
