Background
Lostkeyz had a successful 2014, supporting Daily Meds at the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney. He decided to spend the majority of 2015 abroad, mostly in Israel which is where 9/10 of his mixtape, Organic Narratives, was written and recorded. His debut album was issued on 2 October 2015 via Acclaim Magazine. James Tait of Howl & Echoes felt that his "professionalism on record here is outstanding and doesn't exceed expectations so much as it demolishes them. The production is fantastic, the smooth layers of jazz behind the vocals are a delight, the features all cohesive and most of all, Lostkeyz makes his recorded debut, in an Australian hip hop scene that is expanding into new territories of sound and scope exponentially, with utter aplomb. The entire record is just, there’s really no other word for it, cool." Cool Try Bro's Sean Holio declared "[it] is one far from home but close to his heart, recording all but one song overseas as Lostkeyz travels the globe in his gap year... in Israel where he's managed to find influence in the Middle Eastern culture surrounding him." Scripted Laces' reviewer opined that each track has "a different story and vibe that you’ll connect to and have you bopping your head."
Singles
The first single entitled Do What You Love was released on March 10, 2015 onto Lostkeyz's SoundCloud account where he released a music video on his YouTube channel featuring Savilian the following day.
