NUMBER ONE BABE & LOST FILM

A singer and songwriter from Westerly, Rhode Island, Zachary Alexander Cholewa started Number One Babe in 2020 as a vehicle for his indie folk & Americana twang after spending formative years writing and performing with garage rock band Sydney’s Armour. His debut album, 2022’s Ecstatic Function brought many jangly, raucous shows to the greater northeast, culminating in an electrifying set at Newport Folk Festival in 2024. Cholewa’s next LP under the Number One Babe moniker Loving, lLaving is set to release November 14 via Funnybone Records and will prove to be the songwriter’s most defining body of work to date.

Western MA indie rock mainstays Lost Film have released new singles in 2025 via Relief Map Records. The jangly dreampop centered by synthesizers and driving bass chords is the first new music from the guitar pop veterans since 2023’s Keep It Together and mostly picks up from where that collection left off. There is however a notable jump in production from the typically DIY project led by main songwriter Jim Hewitt thanks in part to new collaborations with engineer John Panagotopulos and drummer Jeremy Woods. Using a perfect blend of bedroom and studio recording techniques, the track is lifted up without losing the lo-fi charm Lost Film has become known for.

Lost Film continues to play across the Northeast- most notably with an appearance at Western Mass’s Green River Fest in June alongside Waxahatchee, MJ Lenderman, Courtney Barnett and others.
