Weekend Showcase 2.27

Paste Magazine [US] - lush, gauzy slices of pop craftsmanship
AOL Spinner [US] ‘MP3 Of The Day’
The Guardian [UK] - What can we say? Album of the year, so far
We All Want Someone To Shout For [UK] - absolutely perfect
The Wounded Jukebox [UK] - sugary harmonies and ambient drifting clouds of audio goodness

Lapland is the moniker for the music of singer/songwriter Josh Mease.

Born in a tiny half-bedroom in Brooklyn, Mease has always found comfort in the solitude of his own thoughts, often preferring the landscapes within his mind’s eye over the bustle of the city that surrounds him.

Lapland's debut UK single ‘Unwise’ (released September 16th) showcases Mease's knack for mixing various genres. One can hear the effect of the myriad of music styles and genres that have shaped Lapland – Early synth pioneers of the 60′s and 70′s, French Impressionists like Ravel and Debussy, and 1970′s staples like Fleetwood Mac.

Lapland's full length debut is due out on The Lights Label March 10th in the UK and March 4th in the US.

Press:
"a breathtaking experience that feels too surreal to be believed. This rendition is arguably the best cover of a Prince song I have heard" ~TheRevue

"flying to the skies with aching cries, sweeping guitar immolation, and a swelling finale of bittersweet strings...an epic and atmospheric cover" ~TheBigTakeover

"just about as fitting a tribute to the purple one that you could imagine...an earnest emotion that is impossible to fake. Wonderful stuff" ~Overblown

"an evocative tribute to the late legend... a wondrous experience and a fitting piece to remember Prince by" ~AnthemReview

"Simply stunning; they've remodeled it, shaken it up, remade it into their own style and revealed previously unknown depths and beauty. Cover version of the year by a mile!" ~TheDevilHasTheBestTuna

RIDE OR CRY

not too shy for the deep dive
i got that ocean wide eyed surprise
just as blue in the day time 
as in the loneliest night
so can you swim alright

‘cause baby i got tears in my eyes
almost all of the time
and baby i am not gonna lie
wanna soak up your life

i’ll be your ride or cry
holding onto you through the night
i’ll be your ride or cry
just hold onto me through the night
i’ll be your ride or cry

you see these sky high grey eyes
i can make ‘em rain or shine
i’ll always say i’m fine
but like a wet-look still-life
they’re never ever bone dry

so can you just be mine

‘cause baby i got tears in my eyes
almost all of the time
and baby you do not have to try
this is how i get by

i’ll be your ride or cry
holding onto you through the night
i’ll be your ride or cry
just hold onto me through the night
i’ll be your ride or cry

don’t it make you wanna ride
don’t it make you wanna come by
don’t it make you wanna sigh
don’t it make you wanna cry

holding onto you through the night
i’ll be your ride or cry
just hold onto me through the night
i’ll be your ride or cry

wanna be your ride or cry
let me be your ride or cry
even when the tide gets high
i’ll be your ride or cry

RIDE OR CRY

Songwriter and instrumentalist Andrew Keoghan resides in Los Angeles and composes for film and television, including scripted, documentary and TVC. He recently completed the score to two Warner Brothers International series - Treasure Island and the dark comedy 6-part Fresh Eggs, both premiering in 2019 on the New Zealand network TVNZ.

Andrew composed the wide-ranging soundtrack for two seasons of StoryBooked, a documentary series following creatives on their personal journeys around the world, which screened on the A & E network and in Spotlight theaters.  

He has scored music for commercial campaigns by Hyundai and GE Finance and iD Tech. 

His song Bright Idea featured on the ABC television series Mixology.  In 2016 he contributed music to the feature-length documentary Le Ride (SXSW, NZFF) and composed the titles music for Smithsonian / CBS program Flying High.

Raised in New Zealand, Andrew studied classical composition and singing while at university, performing in Christchurch Operatic's season of Puccini's Turandot.  In 2006 he learned percussion in Rio De Janiero's samba capital Lapa and his time traveling through Brazil and South America became formative to his musical expression.  

As a songwriter and performing artist, he has released two albums, Arctic Tales Divide & Every Orchid Offering. Both combine contemporary orchestral and electronic elements, with a pop sensibility.

We are not music snobs. We prefer music connoisseurs.
