Lanterns on the Lake #6 - Keep On Trying

lanternsonthelake.com / Facebook

I've been really, really spoilt these past few days with new music. I've had St. Vincent burying herself alive in her new fantastic video, New War making hairs on my neck stand on end with a stunning debut track and I Break Horses wowing me with the first glimpse of their live show. You could be forgiven for thinking it would lead to a quiet bank holiday weekend. Think again.

Lanterns on the Lake have done it again on their new track 'Keep on Trying', taken from their debut LP 'Gracious Tide, Take Me Home' due on Bella Union (label of the year?) September 19th "Keep On Trying" defies superlatives, it's absolutely fucking spellbinding. Robin at Breaking Move Waves says it better than anyone else here.

Twinkling guitars, luscious instrumentation, Hazel's beautiful, delicate vocals. Yes, "Keep On Trying" sounds like a Lanterns on the Lake song alright. Simply one of the best bands you'll hear this year. Cannot wait to hear the album, get it from Rough Trade and you'll also get a bonus EP free - link. One complaint - Where's the London headlining show guys?!

You can buy the single now on iTunes, an accompanying video to a new track "Keep Trying" was released today and you can watch it below:
