Mask of maturity (Lawrence Arabia) (LP 381)

Lawrence Arabia Absolute Truth (CD, Flying Nun Records, 2016) ****

Genre: New Zealand pop/rock

Places I remember: JB HiFi (Palmerston North NZ) 


Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: The Palest Of them All





Gear costume:  A Lake 

Active compensatory factors: There's an embarrassment of pop riches on this album and the thing I love about it the most is that it's a grower so its charms are slowly released over time.


Each time I have a hankering for some new Nu Zild pop I gravitate towards James Milner and his alter-ego Lawrence Arabia.


Where do they all belong? I have two LA albums to collect - his first, and The Sparrow (and his duo album with Fabulous - Unlimited Buffet)
