We first came across Lanterns On The Lake at the End of the Road Festival last year. It was one of those moments where, not knowing anything about the band, we were drawn into a compelling and special set of dream pop and ethereal, experimental folk that held the whole audience captivated until an unfortunate power cut brought the set to a premature end.

So it was with interest that we saw that the band have signed to the excellent Bella Union label and will be releasing Gracious Tide, Take Me Home in September. You can grab the first taste of the album here and also catch them at some of the summer festivals – dates below.
