Newcastle-based folk sextet Lanterns on the Lake have announced details of a UK tour in November to support their debut album ‘Gracious Tide, Take Me Home’, which was released last week. The new tour will follow their upcoming dates supporting French solo artist Yann Tiersen in October. See below for all dates and tickets.
Speaking about the new album, Lanterns On The Lake vocalist Hazel Wilde said: “A lot of lyrics were inspired by me and Paul [Gregory, guitarist] moving back to the coast, where I grew up, after we’d been living near the city centre. They’re also memories of growing up here, the feeling of homesickness and stories of people around us and of the sea. The title ‘Gracious Tide, Take Me Home’ seemed to sum up all the themes.”
Going on to talk about the album’s recording process, she added: “You only get to make your debut album once, so we wanted it to be personal and honest and special to us, so we recorded everything in our own houses again. Though the loud bits were done in a basement of a shop in Newcastle.”
