House of Black Lanterns is the latest artistic guise of Dylan Richards, formerly known as King Cannibal on Ninja Tune and Zilla on Warp. House of Black Lanterns offers a defined change in vision and style with his debut album Kill The Lights (2013) on fabric's Houndstooth imprint gaining critical acclaim. The dub techno of "Drown" sets a strikingly atmospheric tone from the onset, with its subterranean soundscape spreading into a pulsating groove, with a splash of poignant melody and bursts of breathy vocal.

The dense, atmospheric "The Smack" by House of Black Lanterns aka Dylan Richards (King Cannibal, Zilla) evokes shades of early Chicago house but with a thoroughly modern UK twist, cutting through so many genre sounds, from dub techno to dubstep, while sounding entirely unique. Mosca plumbs the Basic Channel school of sound for his "Dread at the Controls" version, with spring reverb and droning synths. The shadowy techno of "Grey Leather Glass" is like a score to a Wes Craven slasher epic, and "8 Million Stories" cuts up vocal chops, finger snaps, and piano stabs over a brooding house production.
