The source of the music remains the same, an exquisitely crafted blend of symphonic rock, folk and electronics - but much has changed in the interim. Lanterns on the Lake's 'Until The Colours Run' was recorded during a time of financial and personal adversity, and as a result is more soulful and dynamic than its predecessor. In sound, it's both harder ('Elodie', the title track) and more luminous ('Green And Gold', 'Picture Show'), and a more emotionally and politically charged experience, as singer/lyricist Hazel Wilde paints unflinching portraits of what she sees. It's a haunting, often devastating combination. Watch the video for the track below!
