Lanterns On The Lake’s There’s A Bird In My Ribcage moves between the intimate and the immense, exploring the lives closest to us, suffering further afield and the struggle to hold both in view. “The album is a refusal to go numb,” says singer and songwriter Hazel Wilde. “In a world that sometimes urges us to retreat into distraction, cynicism or performance, you find yourself aching for something more.”
The Mercury-nominated band’s shuddering guitars and widescreen atmospheres take on a new economy and immediacy here. Tracked largely live in a church hall in Northumberland, with additional recording in their hometown of North Shields, the songs are melodically sharp and expansive without excess, finding quiet power in the act of continuing to care.
The standard LP is pressed on transparent clear vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. The indie-store-exclusive edition features bronze and black vinyl, a gatefold sleeve and a bonus 7-inch containing ‘Trearddur Bay’ and ‘Magnolia’. A CD edition is also available.
