Listen: Lanterns On The Lake Preview Debut LP

Download 'You're Almost There'

New Bella Union signings Lanterns On The Lake are offering fans a preview of their debut album ‘Gracious Tide, Take Me Home’.

The colossal rise of Arctic Monkeys seemed to shift the way songwriters approached British life. Gritty urban realism became the order of the day, with a wave of bands describing how grey the country had become.

Not so Lanterns On The Lake. The Newcastle six piece specialise in a rare, beautifully poetic style of songwriting.

Their lush soundscapes wrap themselves around some vivid writing, with Lanterns On The Lake earning huge acclaim for their opening EP. Bella Union won the race to sign the group, with work beginning on their debut album last year.

Now complete, debut album ‘Gracious Tide, Take Me Home’ is set to be released on September 19th. As a special preview Lanterns On The Lake are giving away new cut ‘You’re Almost There’ – download it below!
