They encompass the spirit of bands such as Fleetwood Mac with a wide range of songs from gentle acoustic ballads with luscious 4-piece harmonies to powerful rock songs which liken them to The Bends era Radiohead and Pearl Jam.
Their debut album 'Light Waves' is out now!
'Gloriously wonderful acoustic rock with a cinematic edge, The Moth Lantern are a beguiling proposition' Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
'Quirky, moody yet tuneful with chord changes to prick the ear at every turn' Stuart Maconie, BBC Radio 2
Fresh On The Net pick - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
'So sweet on this it ain't even funny, a terrifically understated voice, a tonic' Pete Donaldson, Absolute Radio
'The Moth Lantern; one of the most interesting and innovative bands of the moment. You won’t believe it until you hear it. but this band – hailing from Lincoln – has the potential to rule the music scene in the near future.' - Ella Scott, Unsigned act of the week Gigslutz
Light Waves - 9.6 out of 10
"With their music taking in the likes of Radiohead, Fleetwood Mac, Pearl Jam and The Beach Boys - these music warriors are destined for regal climbs. Light waves is the sound of The Moth Lantern at their very best: filled with sweeping epics, delicious ballards and colourful jams, it is an album (and band) you need in your life."

Stutter, stutter, spark. This is a grooving, ultra-British cut of alt-rock.
There's something unassumingly potent about "Light Waves"
By-Volume
'Light Waves' is a HUGE album; with funky, spiky riffs, impossibly catchy choruses and immaculately layered production, this album will get in your head immediately... and stay there.
