Birmingham Promoters presents:
LANTERNS ON THE LAKE + SPECIAL GUESTS
Ages 18+
www.birminghampromoters.com

———
It’s strange – not to mention fundamentally disconcerting – to live through turbulent times. Yet as many feel like the world is slipping out of control, artists are enlivened as they seek to make sense of the shifting sands. Hazel Wilde of Lanterns On The Lake is now a songwriter necessarily emboldened. On Spook the Herd, the band’s fourth record, her voice and preoccupations rise to the fore like never before. In tandem, the band break new ground on a set of songs that are unavoidably direct – and crucial. Wilde does nothing less than dive headlong into the existential crises of our times.

Beginning with the record’s title – a pointed comment at the dangerously manipulative tactics of ideologues – its nine songs turn the microscope to issues including our hopelessly polarized politics, social media, addiction, grief and the climate crisis.

Indie Midlands Presents Bryony Williams + Special Guests

Bryony Williams

Previously in the electro-pop duo Field Harmonics, since going solo Bryony has developed and refined her music over the past three years, culminating in the critically acclaimed and recently released EP, Conscious. This new musical direction has resulted in Bryony being highlighted as one of the ‘25 to watch in the Midlands in 2019’ by BBC WM and shortlisted for ‘Best Record’ by Birmingham Music Awards 2019, and has shared the stage with the likes of Hazel English, Stevie Parker, Charlotte Carpenter, Martha Ffion, Japanese Breakfast and The Goon Sax.

Bryony’s music has developed into dreamy, hook laden indie-pop-folk soundscape; taking influence from the likes of Anna Calvi, Cocteau Twins, and Marika Hackman. Her personal politics and the need to break the patriarchal industry structures have driven Bryony to found her own DIY label, Grrrl Groannn.

“With a knack for writing frank and ambitious gritty alt-pop, this Midlands-based musician is one to watch out for in 2018.”
– Record of the Day

“Every now and then an artist comes along who excites you and just grabs your attention, Bryony Williams is that artist.”
– KMMReviews

“Bryony exudes a PJ Harvey-esque epic”
– Indie Midlands

“Like Anna Fox Rochinski, Kim Gordon or even Girlpool, Williams can display fragility, anger and sadness all within one song.”
– BrumNotes Magazine.

“These lads have crafted a fantastic blend of prog and doom which there is not enough of in the oversaturated and wildly popular genre. The influences are all there within tones and sound but the energy and song writing is a different kettle of fish and that’s what makes Ghozer stand out.” [RIFFTASTIC, 2019]

In world full of avocados, anxiety ridden snowflakes and a burning urge to to take offence and push personal agendas on others, one band seeks to address all this with a heavy yet melodic injection of riffs and captivating lyricism. With songs written about a mix of life experiences and the mass dissatisfaction of today’s modern world, they strongly raise a middle finger up to society and its outdated structures. Time is running out. ‘knock knock’ you’re on Deafs Door.
