Artist: Lanterns On The Lake
Track: Lungs Quicken
Album: Gracious Tide, Take Me Home (2011)
Lanterns On The Lake is a six-piece indie rock band from Newcastle-upon-tyne, who formed in 2008. The band have released two EPs, ‘The Starlight EP’ (2009) and ‘Misfortunes & Minor Victories’ (2010). Budgets being tiny for the EPs, the band borrowed an eight-track recorder and captured every intimate breath and soaring crescendo in their own homes and at an isolated house in Northumberland. Handmade sleeves for both EPs reinforced the self-sufficient approach.
Their début album ‘Gracious Tide, Take Me Home’ was released on 19 September 2011 through Bella Union . The album was produced by Paul, as he did the band’s first two EPs. Relishing their independence, the band eschewed a recording studio for the album, though the loud bits were done in a basement of a shop in Newcastle.
The album 'Gracious Tide, Take Me Home' is available for £10 on Big Cartel, and EP's can be grabbed for a few quid over at Bandcamp.
