Lantern Club

Lantern Club is the soundtrack and broadcast side of Mitchell & Delano, where paintings, stories, characters, and creative experiments become songs, fictional bands, album files, and radio signal.

It began with a simple need: custom music for painting-process videos and visual work. From there, the songs started building their own rooms. A painting suggested a track. A story suggested a voice. A character needed a band. The archive grew from that.

Fictional bands. Real songs. Original signal.

Black Diamond Saints, Wade Raymond, Cal Gordy, Paper Suburb, Becka Quinnlyn, Crankshaft Moses, and the Pulp Logic soundtrack files all live here as part of the same strange catalog. Some songs trace back to real memory. Some come from invented characters. Some started as jokes, fragments, sketches, or late-night ideas that refused to stay small.

Lantern Club Radio is the listening room: a shuffled broadcast of albums, soundtrack files, station breaks, talk segments, studio notes, and whatever else gets patched into the feed.

At the center of the archive stands the Lesavage Jukebox, dedicated to longtime Mitchell & Delano collaborator John P. Lesavage, artist, music lover, and friend. His presence helped shape the humor, machinery, and after-hours tone behind the project.

Some songs begin as paintings. Some as stories. Some as unfinished conversations after midnight. All of it enters the archive.
