“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.”
Warner-Chappell
“Columbia duo Kristen and Andrew Camp make the music of mending. Ethereal yet rooted in the impossibly down deep, their indie folk re-braids frayed cords of romance, marriage and unmet expectation.
The January Lanterns' latest draws out those themes, making lyrical subtext musical text on a track that sounds like gentle stitching — sewing up of wounds, sewing together souls. Evoking the likes of S. Carey and the softest sides of The Head and the Heart, rippling guitars and subtle digital currents frame the duo's vocals, which bleed ever closer to unity.”

Bio
The January Lanterns is an American Indie-Folk-Pop band that formally started in 2017 by husband and wife duo, Andrew and Kristen Camp. The two dynamic performers have been singing, writing and recording together since they met in 2006. The high school sweethearts create a palette of beautiful, yet raw truth in their lyrics and have bitter sweet harmonies that coalesce to create warm folk chord progressions infused with pop productions. Calling Missouri home, the duo’s music caters to anyone who’s lived a life of ups and downs. After releasing their debut LP, For The Kids, When They’re Older, in 2022 the couple released three new singles, “the kid that wrecked it all”, “holding on for dear life”, and “Time Is Softer” in 2023. They are currently working on their second LP.
