Who: Lanterns On The Lake

What: Vocals, guitars, electronics, drums, piano, violin and bass.

Coming together as friends from various local Scottish bands, Lanterns On The Lake’s journey began in 2008. Between their homes and an isolated house in Northumberland the band recorded their first two eps ‘The Starlight ep’ and ‘Misfortune & Minor Victories’ on a borrowed 8-track recorder, releasing them over the following two years around chosen shows including a boathouse on the River Tyne and the highest pub in Britain. With their debut album “Gracious Tide, Take Me Home”, (released last month through Bella Union Records), currently receiving radio play on shows including Chris Hawkins (BBC6) and Bob Harris (Radio 2), the band set out on tour with Mute Records Yann Tiersan playing dates in Europe and the UK through the rest of the year.

and the love that would fill your home” (from ‘Keep On Trying’)
