About
Henry Frayne, the guitarist who records under the nom de musique Lanterna, is slowly rewriting the rule book on instrumental rock, although calling his music "rock" doesn't really do him justice. In Frayne's music, you can hear bits of John Fahey's American Primitive Guitar -- flurries of rippling arpeggios, rich ringing chord clusters and long, sustained single notes that hang in the air buzzing like fat, happy bumblebees. There are also hints of Michael Brook's world-music influenced minimalism, a bit of new wave pop and an eerie drone that harks back to both Eno's first post-Roxy experiments with ambient music and Joy Division's dark synthesizer-accented dirges.
"This Henry Frayne instrumental project leaves the stories to your imagination, but the music is as hopefully expectant as a sunrise." - No Depression

Desert Ocean
Lanterna's 5th album and the first release on Jemez Mountain. On Desert Ocean, there's a sense of traveling forward into the future where music has become the fully fleshed-out animal that many current songs can only hint at. The guitar heavy music seems intended to serve as a soundtrack to whatever movie your mind might conjure. Available through this site now.
Highways
Highways leads the listener on a journey through spaces that feel like a drive up and down winding roads, through mountain canyons and past scenery of beauty and enchantment. There is light and darkness on this journey and plenty of room for self-realization and tranquility. Available through our site now. Limited edition screened poster as available
Elm Street
"Elm Street" the compelling all instrumental follow up to their acclaimed debut album "Lanterna."
Sands
Sands features 10 crystalline instrumental tracks to help you make it through the rest of the year. More of the same wonderful driving guitars and somber musical soundscapes we've come to expect. Available now. Poster also available. Lanterna's song "B Minor" was in the trailer for the Spielberg directed film "Catch Me If You Can." Featured on NPR.
