Lawrence Arabia – Apple Pie Bed
Lawrence Arabia is the best New Zealand export since Flight of The Concords of course and less obviously The Ruby Suns, who incidentally Lawrence Arabia or James Milne if you prefer, used to play with. James has also played with the likes of Feist, Okkervil River and a handful of NZ based acts. What’s it sound like then? Off kilter, psychedelic pop music mostly.
For Fans Of: Brian Wilson, Beck, The Ruby Suns.
