The January Lanterns EPK

Bio

The January Lanterns is an indie-folk-pop duo created by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Kristen Camp. 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, set to be released in May 2025, following 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, most notably, Home & Away in Australia and BBC show, Landward, in the UK.

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.

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 11 songs on "For the Kids ..." live in the space between earthy folk and shimmering pop, evoking duos like The Civil Wars or The Swell Season — had they grown up atop The Postal Service's great heights; the set approximates what Taylor Swift's "Evermore" might sound like if the whole record was a duet with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, and not just one track..
