LANTERNA

Lanterna's music wanders the front line of a style known as Ambient Americana. As Lanterna, Henry Frayne connects his achievements in post-punk and shoegazer "dream pop" with moods drawn from spaghetti westerns and ambient isolationists. Frayne's guitar work has been cited as being more expressive than some songs with lyrics. His albums of primarily guitar-based instrumentals move between the soothing, the unsettling and the fiery. Thought of as "instrumentals that speak",Lanterna provides an entire landscape of sound, created with just a guitar.
