Lanterns on the Lake

Lanterns on the Lake are a dreamy indie rock band hailing from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, known for their lush, atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyricism. Formed in 2007 around the core duo of vocalist Hazel Wilde and multi-instrumentalist Paul Gregory, the group weaves together shimmering guitars, haunting melodies, and poetic storytelling, creating music that feels both intimate and expansive. Over the years, they’ve evolved from DIY bedroom recordings to crafting critically acclaimed albums like *Spook the Herd* (2020) and *Versions of Us* (2023), the latter praised for its raw emotional depth and resilient themes. Their sound—often compared to acts like Low or Sigur Rós—marries fragile beauty with moments of soaring intensity, anchored by Wilde’s evocative vocals.

With a dedicated cult following, Lanterns on the Lake have carved out a niche as one of the UK’s most underrated indie treasures, balancing quiet introspection with cinematic grandeur. Tracks like *Real Life* and *The Likes of Us* showcase their knack for blending personal reflection with universal resonance, while live performances highlight their ability to transform delicate studio arrangements into something powerfully immersive. Whether you’re diving into their early work or their latest releases, their music feels like a late-night conversation—honest, haunting, and deeply human.
