The Magic Lantern is an artist dedicated to remedying the anxiety and fear present in everyone. Currently recording his third album 'To The Islands', Jamie Doe is a rising star of London's diverse music scene with 2016 seeing him as at home performing with Jamie Cullum at the BBC Proms as singing on Mercury Nominated folk artist Sam Lee's 'Lovely Molly' winning 'Best Traditional Track' at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

'To The Islands' was written during a tumultuous journey to Australia, after nearly 10 years away and explores memory, hope and anxiety in a world of near constant uncertainty. Working with a full band for the first time in 4 years and reunited with producer Fred Thomas, the album promises to be his most ambitious musical statement to date. 'To The Islands' is due for release in early 2018.

“Very, very special” – Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music

“Intriguing, compelling and exceptional. A man to watch” – The Guardian

Laura Frances is a new and haunting voice, calling to mind artists such as Hope Sandoval and the classic Mazzy Star. A dark, baritone Joni Mitchell baring herself in her songs with a refreshing depth and brevity. She conjures mystical images in the vein of Leonard Cohen and delivers them under misty melodies from a world where everything is ethereal and half hidden.
