We are a collaborative project between Birmingham based Lantern Music and New York based Cassis. Due to our shared ambitions for expression and emotion to be part of the music we make, we took our name from a collection of poems by British poet, Ted Hughes. Instead of sharing this view of a failing music world due to digital downloads, we have seen as an opportunity. For hundreds of years music has been about communication. A way of people connecting through song, telling stories that have been past down from generation to generation. A way of someone communicating their thoughts and feelings. With the digital era came a new era for communication. Through use of the internet, we have been able to write together two sets of songs with thousands of miles separating us. Something that could have never happened before. We then met, once in Berlin, on a farm, and once in Leeds, in the crypt of an 18th century church. There we recorded, making music purely because we wanted to create something special.
