Lanterns On The Lake announce new EP with title-track "The Realist"
2020 Mercury Prize nominees Lanterns On The Lake are back with news of their upcoming EP The Realist, and have shared the title-track as the lead single.
"The Realist" is the group's first new outing since their February album Spook The Herd.
Lanterns On The Lake's forthcoming EP will feature four new songs with a reworked version of their "Baddies" track.
Vocalist Hazel Wilde says of the track and EP, ""The Realist" is a song about being a dreamer, clinging to a vision and following your heart - even when that path can seem deluded to others. It was one of the songs that didn’t make it onto the album Spook The Herd as it didn’t fit sonically or narratively. It felt like it came from another place. So we began putting together this EP. We wanted to sculpt an intimate "headphones" record. One for the introverts and dreamers, the ones that still find beauty and magic in things. Recording some of the songs over lockdown in our homes helped in creating that world."
