Lantern Open for Dirty Beaches at FUC – Side Chapel May 10

Lo-fi psych-garage act Lantern is the brainchild of Canuck and Philly transplant Zachary Devereux Fairbrother (formerly of Omon Ra/Omon Ra II) with help from Emily Robb and Sophie White. They recently released a new cassette Stranger I Come/Stranger I Leave via Night People. You’ll find dirty, blues-influenced mind-fucking tracks from their latest effort, but minimalistic, atmospheric tracks like “In The Night Alone” from Deliver Me From Nowhere certainly sound like they could have been pulled from the soundtrack of your favorite David Lynch film. Lantern will be opening the sold out show tonight in the First Unitarian Church – Side Chapel for Dirty Beaches which is led by Alex Zhang Hungtai who actually once played bass with Fairbrother on Lantern’s earlier recordings. Fairbrother and Robb recently did an interview with Vice Magazine that was posted yesterday (which you can read HERE) and should raise plenty of eyebrows in the Philly community – possibly making them the most notorious local band since Clockcleaner.
