Lanterns On The Lake - Through The Cellar Door
I'm pretty ignorant about English band Lanterns On The Lake, even though they have made 5 albums, one of them Mercury Prize nominated.
An acquaintance of mine went to see them play live recently, which is why I decided to have a listen. Formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2007, they have been compared to Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Low. Radiohead's Phil Selway joined the group to provide drums and percussion on their 2023 album, Versions of Us.

I fucking love Lanterns on The Lake. Been kind of obsessed with them ever since I heard a demo track of theirs on an indie music podcast years before they even had a proper album out. I'm very jealous of your friend getting to see them live.
Beings - which this track is from - is probably their best album, although picking the best LotL album is largely an exercise in madness. I personally have a deep love for Until The Colours Run. The track "Another Tale From Another English Town" basically lives in my brain permanently.
I will have to listen to more. What podcast was it?
Defunct now. It was by Warren Ellis.
The demo track is worth hunting down though if you can find it elsewhere. It's called This Year. Very good song.
