Lanterns On The Lake is an indie rock band hailing from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, United Kingdom. Formed by Hazel Wilde, Paul Gregory, Bob Allan, Ol Ketteringham, and Angela Chan, the band has gained recognition for their unique sound and captivating performances.

With a blend of atmospheric melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Lanterns On The Lake creates music that resonates with listeners on a deep level. Their introspective songwriting explores themes of love, loss, and the human experience.

Having released several critically acclaimed albums over the years, including "Gracious Tide, Take Me Home" and "Beings," Lanterns On The Lake has established themselves as one of the most influential bands in the indie rock scene. Their music has garnered praise for its emotional depth and sonic beauty.

Lanterns On The Lake release their new studio album, Spook The Herd,via Bella Union. It’s strange – not to mention fundamentally disconcerting - to live through turbulent times. Yet as many feel like the world is slipping out of control, artists are enlivened as they seek to make sense of the shifting sands. Hazel Wilde of Lanterns on the Lake is now a songwriter necessarily emboldened. On Spook the Herd, the band’s fourth record, her voice and preoccupations rise to the fore like never before. In tandem, the band break new ground on a set of songs that are direct and crucial. Wilde does nothing less than dive headlong into the existential crises of our times. Beginning with the record’s title - a pointed comment at the dangerously manipulative tactics of ideologues - its nine songs turn the microscope to issues including our hopelessly polarized politics, social media, addiction, grief and the climate crisis. The world is brought into focus, but Wilde’s style is not declarative. She also proves herself a songwriter possessed of a rare talent for finding the personal contours to contemporary issues, fully inhabiting them to make them real. Recorded as live where possible, the band’s natural touchstones of gauzy dream-pop and monumental post rock still float in the air, but listening to Lanterns on the Lake now feels like actually sitting in the corner of the room as they play. As guitarist and producer Paul Gregory says of approaching their fourth album, “There was a sense of release in terms of what kind of music we felt we could make. The idea of what kind of band you’re supposed to be really disappeared. It was great; you felt you could do whatever you like.”
