Lost Ships is an album released by ECM Records that solidifies the collaboration between Albanian-Swiss vocalist Elina Duni and British guitarist Rob Luft. The project explores the intersection of contemporary jazz, Balkan folk, and French chanson under a unifying theme of loss and migration.

The ensemble features the participation of Fred Thomas (piano, percussion) and Matthieu Michel (flugelhorn), achieving a chamber-like sound characterized by its transparency and precision.

The repertoire alternates original compositions by Duni and Luft with standards and traditional pieces, exploring various languages and rhythmic structures.
