Lighthouse And The Whaler - Venice

The track reminds me of the types of the violins of Ra Ra Riot, the glockenspiels of Freelance Whales & the vocals of Set Sail.

Recently I haven’t heard any new bands that have grabbed my attention. That was of course, until I came across Lighthouse And The Whaler, a quartet (minus 1 in this pic) based out of Cleveland, USA. 

I’m not sure I can technically classify the group as “new” considering they have played over 200 shows, having opened for the likes of Sufjan Stevens, The Temper Trap, The Dodos & Best Coast. But Lighthouse And The Whaler remain relatively unknown (although I expect that to change). Their new album This is An Adventure is due to be released on September 18th.

Enjoy!
