Invisible Lantern

Released in 1988, Invisible Lantern captures the Screaming Trees at a turning point, blending their psychedelic roots with the emerging grunge sound of the Pacific Northwest. Mark Lanegan’s brooding vocals soar over intricate guitar textures, jangling riffs, and driving rhythms, creating a mood that is both hypnotic and urgent. The album balances raw energy with melodic sophistication, showcasing a band coming into its own. Invisible Lantern stands as a key document of Screaming Trees’ early evolution—mysterious, dynamic, and deeply resonant.
