Lanterns On The Lake Announce New Album ‘There’s A Bird In My Ribcage’

Lanterns On The Lake will release their new album ‘There’s A Bird In My Rib Cage’ on March 19th.

The Mercury nominated band have opted to go it alone for this album, the first to be released via their own DUST & MATTER imprint.

Largely recorded live in a church hall in Northumberland, additional recording took place in their hometown of North Shields.

“This record is a refusal to go numb”, says Hazel Wilde. “in a world that sometimes urges us to retreat into distraction, cynicism or performance, you find yourself aching for something more.”

Going further, she adds: “After years of releasing music and talking about the idea, we’re  launching our own record label Dust & Matter, based right here in North Shields. The label is really just an extension of what we’ve always done, putting things into the world we’d like to see exist. It gives us the freedom to release records on our own terms, work with local partners as part of our wider team and put focus on beautiful physical editions. It will be home to our various projects.”

“First up is our guitarist/mixer/producer Paul’s (Gregory) ‘Experiments with Machines’ album in January, before our own album ‘There’s a Bird in My Ribcage’ in March. It’s a pretty exciting and creatively fertile time for us.”

With a UK tour planned for Spring 2027 – including shows shows at EaRTH, London and a hometown headliner at the Boiler Shop, Newcastle – the band race back with new single ‘Freeze Frame’.

An ambitious return that blends widescreen arrangement, a soaring vocal, and the taut rippling energy of their live shows, you can tap in below. Pre-order their new album here.
