'Lost Americana' Marks A New Chapter in MGK's Genre-Bending Career

MGK has officially released his latest album, Lost Americana, which marks his first foray into the Americana genre. The album is a departure from his previous hip-hop and pop-punk styles, including hits like Tickets to My Downfall and Mainstream Sellout.

The album was announced with a trailer narrated by legendary musician Bob Dylan, and in the preview, Dylan described Lost Americana as "a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom."

Lost Americana features singles such as "Cliché," "Vampire Diaries," and "Miss Sunshine," and follows 2022's Mainstream Sellout. The album reflects MGK's desire to explore different musical genres and avoid being confined to a single style.

In releasing his newest album, MGK dedicated it to his late friend Luke "The Dingo" Trembath, who passed away earlier this year in February. In a statement on social media, he explained, "Dedicating this album to our brother in the sky Dingo. It’s the last piece of music he heard from us before he passed and he’s been an honorary member of our band since day 1. Tonight’s release isn’t the same without a legendary christening from him but his spirit is all over the project." He added, "Get in your car this weekend, start driving and press play; it’s time for lost americana."
