“The endearing intimacy of this husband and wife team is fully realized in these left-of-center, dreamy, immersive songs that embrace both folk roots and lofty, airy, indie layers to weave a quietly cinematic, classically American tale of moments lost and regrets begun.”
“The January Lanterns are lovers, not fighters.
The Columbia duo’s catalog is marked by its soft touches: songs like kisses and fingertips brushing shoulders, like lovers’ hands reaching and like arms wrapped around another beloved body and holding it through the night.
And yet Andrew and Kristen Camp land a staggering blow to open their new record “That’s What We’ll Be.” Not exactly a 1-2 punch, as these initial songs arrive as gorgeous gestures. But still they dizzy the listener, setting up the band’s best and most beautiful record to date.”
““Take A Breather” is a relatable, melodic charmer from the project, who describe the track as about “the yearning to break free from the mundane, contemplating grand escapades only to find solace in the simple joys of home.””
Bio
The January Lanterns is an indie-folk-pop duo created by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Kristen Camp. The high school sweethearts have navigated life’s highs and lows together and their music is a raw and heartfelt expression of their journey. With bittersweet harmonies and poignant lyrics, they craft a sound that blends warm folk melodies with pop-infused production, creating something deeply intimate yet expansive.
Based in Missouri, The January Lanterns’ music speaks to anyone who’s lived through love, loss, and the complex beauty of personal growth. Their second album, That’s What We’ll Be, released in May 2025, follows their debut LP, For The Kids, When They’re Older (2022), and several singles that paved the way for their evolving sound. That’s What We’ll Be offers a collection of stories about vulnerability, transformation, and embracing life’s uncertainties.
The duo’s single, “the kid that wrecked it all” was named in the top 12 songs at the 2024 Telluride Troubadour Songwriting Competition and The January Lanterns are also active in licensing their music for sync. Warner Chappell Production Music commissioned Andrew and Kristen to write a six song EP for their sync catalog. Since then those songs have been licensed in numerous TV shows around the world.
Their music is a comforting embrace—a glowing light in the darkness of life's challenges—offering stories of vulnerability, hope, and transformation. Two lanterns, burning bright in the night sky.
