LOS ANGELES, CA, March 8, 2017 – Darren Criss’ independent alt-pop band Computer Games released its debut EP today entitled Lost Boys Life EP, which features 4 songs written by frontman Darren and his brother Chuck Criss (from indie-pop band Freelance Whales), produced by The Elev3n (Bebe Rexha, Meghan Trainor, Betty Who) in collaboration with the Criss brothers, and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, Beck, M83).

By combining the sounds of the 1980s with the brothers’ love of contemporary pop production, Lost Boys Life EP explores the journey of trying to maintain boyhood ideologies while navigating the throes of adulthood.

With its eclectic instrumentation, explosive rhythms, and juicy harmonies, the EP’s lead track “Every Single Night” unapologetically summons the spirit of the great dance records of Miami Sound Machine, Lionel Richie, Peter Gabriel, and Phil Collins.

Complete track list below:

1. We Like It
2. Every Single Night
3. Lost Boys Life
4. Lost Boys Life (Voice Memo)

Darren Criss' songwriting career first garnered attention with the hit YouTube musical comedy group StarKid. His featured work with StarKid went on to top the charts of Billboard’s Top Cast Albums and Top Compilation Albums. In 2010, he independently released his lo-fi singer/songwriter EP Human. In the same year he became a household name actor when he was cast in FOX’s global phenomenon Glee. The show would eventually earn him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination in 2015 for best original music and lyrics for the song “This Time.”

Chuck Criss, the older of the two, is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the indie-pop band Freelance Whales, whose catalog of music has appeared in TV’s Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Roadies, as well as in ad campaigns for Starbucks and Chevrolet.

Music from the combined minds of the Criss brothers has been long overdue -- as the two have written, produced, and performed original songs together since high school. After many years of other projects shaping their individual careers, Computer Games has been on the back burner for over a decade. Lost Boys Life EP marks the lifelong goal of a sibling collaboration, and is the first major release from either artist in several years.
