Praise for LANTERNS./This Flood Covers the Earth Split LP:
"San Diego's LANTERNS are making quite a name for themselves in the punk world. fresh off of a full u.s. tour in support of a split cd/lp with fellow locals THIS FLOOD COVERS THE EARTH as well as at least one show every few weeks, the four boys are definitely keeping busy. Their sound can be compared to sonic youth's more indie sounding songs added with a certain sense of nostalgia circa all those indie rock bands in the 90's that never made it past a few underground releases. Think braid or jawbreaker if they existed today. Their four song contribution to the split cd/lp are very heartfelt and noisy, often times exploring the experimental noisy side of punk but just as easily breaking into a hushed sing-along that will make you want to clap to the inaudible beat. Be on the look out for a 7" with new songs through DOOD RECORDS as well as another U.S. tour. if you are still kicking yourself for missing the BRAID reunion tour, definitely check out LANTERNS. They will be legends." - Deadpan Distro
"While I did enjoy this split release, it came with no bio or info (aka a onesheet), and since I'm moving, I'm too lazy from packing to go search things out on the web. The label is from Boston, but there's a map of San Diego above the bands in the sleeve layout... so go figure? Still, both bands have an interesting sound, even if the home recordings aren't top notch, as TFCTE recorded in their living room, and Lanterns recorded in their garage, respectively. Lanterns is my pick of the two, with their shoegazer take on postcore - coming off as Interpol meets the Deep Elm School of Emo... The EP presents the songs one band at a time, back and forth, instead of one half of the disc being one band, then the next band taking the second half. All good debuts here, but I think the bands', as well as the label's sophomore will be their shinning moment."- Feast of Hate and Fear
