Lost in the Pancakes was recorded at home over the last few years by Peter Erchick of The Olivia Tremor Control, Circulatory System, The Instruments, The Wedding Band, among others. It is the follow up to his albums Individuals Shirts and Special Fanfare for Anything. Largely a solo effort (Erchick plays most of the instruments including piano, other keyboards, guitar, bass, percussion, etc.), there are also contributions from Elephant 6 cohorts John Fernandes, Eric Harris, Bill Doss, Heather McIntosh, Derek Almstead, Robbie Cucchiaro, Heather Heyn, and Emily Growden. Lost in the Pancakes is an introspective album and arrangements vary from the very minimal "Days Remain" (piano and vocals only) to the more anthemic songs like "The Next Anything" and "Dream Together". Listeners may be familiar with "I Have Been Floated" Erchick's contribution to The Olivia Tremor Control album Black Foliage. Many of the songs on this album are piano based, with layered vocal harmonies and atmospheric flourishes. When describing Lost in the Pancakes, one band member comments: "Pete has a songwriting sensibility similar to Brian Wilson, and a demeanor similar to Steven Wright. Lost in the Pancakes will be available on CD and digitally. The CD is a hand-assembled and numbered edition limited to 1000 copies.
