“Lungs Quicken” by Lanterns on the Lake:
Iroquois Falls, a mysterious artist who is flying so far under-the-radar that I can’t even locate any information about her – the town in Canada keeps coming up instead. (Last.fm play count: 48.)

“Gaspe” by Iroquois Falls:
Love Inks. By all counts, the song below should be totally annoying… and yet I couldn’t stop playing it.
