Lights on Moscow
Lights on Moscow is the collaboration between Justin Lockey of Editors/ Minor Victories/ Mastersystem and Hazel Wilde of Lanterns On The Lake. Their debut EP Aorta Songs Part 1 arrives tomorrow via Physical Education Recordings, the label’s second release following the incredible Mastersystem album, also featuring Lockey, released earlier this year. Under the Radar has the very cool exclusive stream ahead of the official release. We premiered the grand and powerful lead single “Lord Let Me Know” in August and the EP continues with that organic strength.
The duo is a formation between two very talented musicians. The prolific Justin Lockey is best known for his work with Editors but is becoming increasingly regarded for his collaborative efforts – most notably on said Mastersystem album Dance Music. Lanterns On The Lake are a critically acclaimed act who have released 3 studio albums through Bella Union.
The debut music, a blend “full of anguish and beauty,” took shape circuitously for this duo, with a brief run of performance on a trip to New York that came back around when they lived close by in Newcastle.
“It’s strange how the timing of something can make a difference. We always knew it was something we’d come back to. And now we have” says Wilde of the project. “Aorta Songs Part 1 contains some of the earliest stuff we worked on together. We were living around the corner from one another in Newcastle at the time we were working on these songs – recording vocals through a guitar amp onto a digital 8 track. Simpler times. I think the songs have some real magic to them and you could sense it was the start of something special.”
