In Photos: Yann Tiersen + Lanterns on The Lake @ The Roundhouse, London (20.10.11)

Gallic composer Yann Tiersen is rightly renowned for his soundtrack work, but last month saw him play six dates across The UK in support of Skyline, his seventh studio album proper. The first of those dates took place at London's Roundhouse, and Anni Timms was on hand to capture the gig (appropriately enough) on camera for us.

Cut from a similarly cinematic, multi-instrumental cloth, Newcastle sextet Lanterns on The Lake had earlier eased the night underway with their plaintive blend of folk and electronica. Anni – who first came across the band when they opened for John Grant in the capital recently – wasn't the only punter left smitten by Hazel Wilde and co.'s breathy elegance, and with Bella Union now helping them pay their rent it seems the only way is up for these Geordies.

Yann Tiersen's Skyline LP is out now via Mute, while Lanterns on The Lake's excellent debut, Gracious Tide, Take Me Home, dropped a couple of months back on the aforementioned Bella Union. LoTL also have several UK shows coming up between now and the end of the month.
