"Concrete Heart" was written for a project in which various Canadian musicians were asked to write songs about Toronto architecture, and "The Chorus in the Underground" was written about a concert by Canadian indie rock band A Northern Chorus. Reception Lost Channels was called a "beautiful" album by both Uptown and The Georgia Straight and "pleasantly inoffensive and well-constructed" by Toro. The band's sound was compared to "the jangly folk-pop of Fleet Foxes [and] hushed intimacy of Iron & Wine". A reviewer at the CBC praised the album as being the group's best, saying: The album was a shortlist nominee for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize.
