Late Nite Friday: Lake South

Lake South is an electric UTOPIA artist from Aotearoa-New Zealand. DIY pop for the wireless – this is music for a future we forgot. He released his debut album 'If You're Born On An Island the Ocean Heals You' in 2017 and the follow-up, 'Wellington | Te Upoko O Te Ika', in late 2019. Both records have been critically acclaimed with Graham Reid calling Lake an "electro-folk postcard poet of his doubting generation". His 3rd album 'The Light You Throw' is a record full of hope, joy and defiance. Expertly crafted odes to friends, the cities they live in, and the futures they strive for.

Lake South has toured Canada, Aotearoa, and was booked to play at SXSW 2020 before the world changed. The current line-up features Theo Sekeris (Ras Judah, Rubita) on bass, Eddie Crawshaw (Sheep Dog & Wolf, Bonaparte) on drums, and Penelope Esplin (French for Rabbits, Grawlixes) on harmonies and synths.
