The Lost Art of Longing is the thirteenth studio album by electronica artist BT.

[3][4] The Lost Art of Longing is considered a resurgence of electronic dance music for BT, akin to some of Transeau's previous releases, such as Ima, ESCM, Movement in Still Life, Emotional Technology, These Hopeful Machines and A Song Across Wires.

Transeau said of the significance and symbolism of the album: One of the things nearing extinction; is the art of longing.

If anything positive is to come from the situation the world collectively finds itself in, it is my great hope – speed, instant gratification, and over-stimulation are swapped out for longing, imagination, and relational connection.

For a child or teenager to sit thoughtfully and ponder what is to come, to hope for or envision something amazing, to dream of a place or a future – is becoming obsolete.
