Trip away to Lantern’s new song “We Are Here”
Philly rock trio Lantern have been a bit quiet the past year or so, while bassist-vocalist Emily Robb pursued her indie-punk four-piece Louie Louie and guitarist-vocalist Zachary Devereux Fairbrother dabbled in psychedelic guitar soundscapes. But we’re psyched to report that the raw and rowdy rock trio is back in action; the band releases its new Black Highways And Green Garden Roads on February 19th. It’s out via cassette label Future Records and on vinyl via Sophomore Lounge, and Brooklyn Vegan just premiered the first single yesterday.
The song, recorded at The Bottle Garden in Fairbrother’s hometown of Montreal, is distinctly different in tone from Lantern’s 2013 LP Rock ‘N’ Roll Rorschach. If that album was The Stooges, this album is Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd – or so the lead single “We Are Hear” is sounding – and we’re 100% on board with all those weird and wonderful otherworldly trappings.
Give the song a listen below, and get more info on the band over at Facebook.
