Lost Individual Makes a Poignant Debut with 'a human experience'

Vienna-based singer-songwriter Lukas Wallner—aka Lost Individual—delivers a breathtakingly honest and emotionally rich debut with a human experience, a 10-track album that lives up to its name in every sense. Anchored by the haunting lead single “Part of Me,” the album is a deeply introspective exploration of identity, longing, and the quiet battles we fight within ourselves.

Wallner’s strength lies in his instinctive songwriting and raw vulnerability. Tracks begin simply—with guitar in hand and unfiltered vocals—and then unfold into sweeping arrangements, carefully co-produced with his brother. From the searching “where i belong” to the cinematic closer “ocean waves,” the album traces a full emotional arc, never shying away from discomfort or contradiction.

On “Part of Me,” Wallner sings, “one part of me wants to live, the other just wants to run away,” encapsulating the inner push-and-pull that defines the album’s narrative. It’s music that feels handmade—personal yet universally resonant.

With elements of folk, acoustic pop, and ambient flourishes, a human experience invites comparisons to artists like Bon Iver, Ben Howard, or early Damien Rice, while carving a space uniquely its own. For listeners seeking sincerity and introspection, Lost Individual is an artist worth getting lost in.
