Jake Vera – “Lost”

Jake Vera’s album Lost came out on October 16, 2025, and it’s his first full-length release as an artist based in Dallas. The project came together online with producer reactance and mixing engineer Sefi Carmel, which already gives the album a personal edge before you even get into the music itself.

The record sits comfortably between alternative rock and acoustic sounds, and that balance gives the album room to breathe. It’s not easy to pick just one favorite track of the album, but the ones that grabbed my attention are “Wasteland’, “Resentment”, “Time”, and “Forsaken”.

Lost pulls from Jake’s life, faith, and his thoughts on current events, and that grounding keeps the album from drifting into anything vague or generic. Knowing that the vocals were recorded in his bedroom adds another layer of closeness, especially when you consider that some takes happened while he was dealing with a sinus infection, and those moments don’t weaken the album at all, and they quietly reinforce how real the process was.

The album plays like something that took time, patience, and personal investment to complete. If this record connects with you, it’s a good idea to follow Jake Vera on social media so you can stay updated on new releases coming in the new year.
