Illustration of Timothy Showalter of Strand Of Oaks by Johnnie Cluney for www.daytrotter.com At the turn of the New Year, the folks at NPR Music contacted WXPN and asked us to pick the "next big band to break out of Philly." Other stations, like The Current in Minneapolis, KUT in Austin, Seattle's KEXP, OPB (Oregon Public Radio), two New York stations (including WFUV at Fordham University and WNYC), and KCRW in Los Angeles were also approached. We were each challenged with the same job: pick one band, one song, and write three or four [...]
FRIDAY, JANUARY 13th With a Google-proof band name and zero social-networking presence, Cults used to be such a mystery. Then the unassuming New York duo posted a few tracks online in 2010, which immediately set off a hunt for the truth about their backgrounds and catapulted them into the indie spotlight. The single "Go Outside" channels '60s girl-group pop; it's a sunny song with Lesley Gore-esque vocals, glockenspiel, and an eerie undercurrent (courtesy of samples of cult leader Jim Jones muttering about death). Though they're not in any rush to make every autobiographical detail and quirk public, [...]
Alex Zhang Hungtai (van Dirty Beaches ) en William Cody Watson (voornamelijk "bekend" als Pink Priest ) hebben de handen in elkaar geslagen en als soort nieuwjaarsgeschenk een compilatie gemaakt van muziek van henzelf en kennissen, allemaal uit 2011. Het gaat meestal om releases op Bathetic Records . Die compilatie noemen ze Expressway en je kan elk nummer met wat uitleg erbij hier beluisteren. Tracklist: [...]

![[Listen] Lantern & Dirty Beaches: "Going Out West" (Tom Waits Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3941341_lg.jpg)
Por ahi a mediados de este año Dirty Beaches y Lantern estuvieron dando algunas presentaciones en vivo juntos, pero una de las que destaco un poco mas, fue la que dieron en este lugar llamado Glasslands asi que por que no?, ellos mismos decidieron grabar lo ocurrido esa noche para meses despues editarlo en un pequeño EP el cual ya podemos escuchar en su totalidad a traves de Bandcamp . "Live At Glasslands" es unicamente un album compuesto por 4 tracks improvisados los cuales, por momentos parecieran unicamente tratarse de algunos demo impecables de estos dos proyectos [...]
Last Spring, friend bands Lantern and Dirty Beaches played at show together at Glasslands. Dirty Beaches has been cropping up on some of the more forward-thinking Best Ofs at the end of the year for Alex Zhang Hungtai dour 2011 breakthrough Badlands, and I covered Lantern's recent 7" release a few months back right here on Visitation Rites. Fans of either may be surprised to hear the results. The entire thing is now up for free streaming on Bandcamp, and the concluding track "Going Out West," a cover pulled from Tom Waits' seminal 1992 album [...]
Words: Joe Parry Having released arguably one of the most powerful debut albums of 2011 in Gracious Tide, Take Me Home , Newcastle-upon-Tyne's Lanterns On The Lake had plenty to prove at their sold out Lexington show. Beginning with the enchanting album opener 'Lungs Quicken', the band demonstrated perfectly in just one song what they are truly capable of, in a track which feels both intimate and grandiose in the same breath. Dashing any notions of the term 'twee', the track was drawn out to unexpectedly epic crescendo before bleeding into [...]
Lanterns on The Lake kick off their UK tour tonight with a sold-out show at the Lexington, but for those of you without a ticket, you can take solace in the fact that the band have announced a show at Cargo in London on January 12th. Tuesday 1 November – NEWCASTLE – The Sage (Sold Out) Wednesday 2 November – LIVERPOOL – Leaf Café (Music Week) Thursday 3 November – SHEFFIELD – The Harley (£6) Sunday 20 November – HERTFORDSHIRE – Attic (£7) Tuesday 22 November [...]

Stel je het letterlijk voor: Lanterns On The Lake. Tien tegen een dat je een warm en sfeervol beeld op je netvlies krijgt. Goed gekozen naam van deze band uit Newcastle dus, want sfeer en melancholie zijn de hoofdbestanddelen van...
Lanterns On The Lake es un sexteto de Newcastle formado en el año 2008 por Hazel Wilde (voz, guitarra), Adam Sykes (voz, guitarra), Paul Gregory (guitarra, electrónica), Brendan Sykes (bajo), Sarah Kemp (violín) y Ol Ketteringham (batería, piano). Tras un par de EPs, The Starlight EP (2009) y Misfortunes & Minor Victories (2010) recientemente han publicado su álbum de debut "Gracious Tide, Take Me Home", un disco de folk-pop melódico cuyas suaves canciones constituyen una perfecta banda sonora para una tarde lluviosa de otoño. Website Facebook [...]
Facebook / lanternsonthelake.com/ Lanterns on the Lake can't do much wrong as far as I'm concerned, as well as their spellbinding debut full-length 'Gracious Tide, Take Me Home', a real album of the year contender the North-East sextet have contributed a track to a compilation CD on this months MOJO magazine (and also includes Emmy The Great covering "All Those Years Ago"). The track, a cover of the George Harrison penned Beatles track "Long Long Long", it's beguiling in its beauty too, as ever masterfully produced, adding their signature cinematic soundscapes [...]
Lantern Summer EP 2011 by Lantern Philadelphia Lantern is one of those bands that everytime that any new material surfaces everything can be expected. The recent Summer EP that came out last July follows the band Lo-Fi trash with Punk vibes but less Bluesy than the fabulous "Stranger I Come. Stranger I Leave." but still remarkable, full of intension and class like the "Money (That's What I Want)" dirtiest cover since The Sonics for the Barret Strong Classic ...

"All around the world, I've been looking for new..." ...and some old, as the case may be... - Looks like much of the old gang of nightlife habitues from the early 1980s NYC scene around the Mudd Club, New Wave Vaudeville at Irving Plaza, and Club 57 on St. Mark's Place are gathering at the end of the month for a reunion concert . Do you remember these names? Comateens, Bush Tetras, Marilyn, Animal X, Richard Lloyd, Ann Magnuson, John Kelly, 3 Teens Kill 4, Phoebe Legere, [...]
I've always thought that the original version of "Money (That's What I Want)" was lacking in something. It's a song almost entirely about being a greedy prick. Take any prior version - the Barrett Strong original, The Beatles catchy hit, etc. - and what you have is songs about capitalist fantasy without the grit-filled smile [...]
