Andres Gamero is a Central New Hampshire-born, Boston-based singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and creative mastermind behind the indie, solo recording project Lanterne. Central New Hampshire isn’t exactly known for a having a bustling music scene, so Gamero grew up listening to and being inspired by his older brothers’ CD collection, which included Three Days Grace, System of a Down, Blink-182, Daft Punk, Gorillaz and Arctic Monkeys. However, Gamero didn’t start making music until he attended Worcester, MA-based College of the Holy Cross, where he took multiple music courses and joined the choir in his senior year to help bolster his skills.
The Central New Hampshire-born, Boston-based artist’s Lanterne debut single “Real” is a hook-driven, post-punk bop with a decidedly nostalgia-inducing 80s feel anchored around glistening synths, reverb-soaked, angular guitar, a driving groove serving as a lush bed for Gamero’s plaintive and yearning delivery.
Thematically, the song as Gamero explains is “about finding love only once you’ve found yourself,” which adds to the 80s rom-com soundtrack-like vibe of the song.
