about
Backyards, the beautiful 2015 album from Champaign, Illinois’ Lanterna is multi-instrumentalist Henry Frayne’s most compelling work to date, where he crafts musical landscapes interweaving layers of warm, instrumental sonic tapestries. For Frayne, the inception of Backyards began as far back as 1995 and is a culmination of his career as a versatile musician best known for blending genres and bending guitar styles to create layers of airy overtones. Independent Project Records licensed the album for vinyl release from Badman Recording Company, and this track is one of our favorite songs on the LP.
"The song 1995 emerged from an orphaned Conrad acoustic guitar acquired from a friend of a friend of a friend during the summer of '95. Many of the songs on Backyards came from just picking up this guitar and grabbing a chord" remembers Frayne.
Beautifully crafted tracks with a lot of heart. So happy they were reissued on vinyl with the IPR work of art packaging and available for streaming here on BC. Thanks Half String! slowdive_fan
First off I’m unbelievably excited this recording exists. Bonus is this label rules. So much care put into the packaging, fair pricing, postcards, and the ever important handwritten thanks. Peace, love, and take care. Your efforts on this document are greatly appreciated! popetones
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
