Boardwalk Closed Till May

by The Lantern Hounds

A seasonal two-sider about the places that close up when the crowds go home.

Tracks

  1. 1. Boardwalk Closed Till MayThe boardwalk is our favourite place in the off-season, when the gulls own the parking lot. This is the A-side because it sounds like an ending that smiles.seaside jangle, nostalgic folk4:21

Liner notes

We cut these two in one afternoon on a borrowed four-track in a friend's garage. Both are about the quiet that settles over a place once the summer people leave: the drive-in screen gone dark, the boardwalk shuttered till May. We pressed a few hundred on seven-inch and sold them off the merch table until they were gone.
