Originally formed in Tyneside in 2007, Lanterns on the Lake combine dreamy, melancholic Indie rock with beautiful layers of texture and celestial melodies that thread around intricate instrumentation. Their fourth studio album Spook The Herd was released in February 2020 to critical acclaim and earned a place on the shortlist for the Mercury Prize. Throughout their career, the band’s music has been used in soundtracks for film, TV (Conversations with Friends, Uncanny, Made In Chelsea, Skins) and the video game Life Is Strange. They have recorded an orchestral live album with The Royal Northern Sinfonia and played shows opening for Explosions in the Sky, Low and Yann Tiersen.
