Lapland Release New Single, Metal Lung

Lapland - Metal Lung Out: Dec 16th | The Lights Label

New York Times [US] - Some very good music went down…And Mr. Mease, who seems to love the intimacy and chord changes in Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson’s work, made his case with music that kept alternately settling you and waking up your ear through harmony. Time Out new York [US] - In such work, arrangements are crucial, and Mease resists the temptation to add clutter. Even when the setting seems fancy, with clavinet and backing choirs, the recording is spare—he is confident in his songs. Beats Per Minute [US] - His multi-faceted approach to production gives him the leeway to combine seemingly incongruous sounds into something that not only fits together perfectly but feels emotionally resonant and inclusive toward the listener. Drawing on artists like The Beach Boys and Fleetwood Mac, as well as classical composers like Debussy and Ravel, Mease never allows his focus to stagnate and maintains an acute eye toward composition even when treading across multiple genres—many times within the same song. The Deli Magazine [US] - Josh Mease’s smooth voice fills out his mixes with dense background vocals, and there is a certain timelessness to the shape of his melodies. The full and dreamy production transports the listener to a space and time far from the chaos of the city, notwithstanding the unusual electronic effects. Think Grizzly Bear with some Boards of Canada mixed in. All Around Sound [US] - Lyrics cast afloat upon billowing seas of dreamy textures, it seems hard to believe that everything you're hearing is almost solely the work of Mease and yet with the exception of the drums that's exactly what's happening....But the more impressive feat is how all of Mease's various loves and influences are alchemized in not only an intriguing personal style but also one that manages to be remarkably understated.

Paste Magazine [US] - lush, gauzy slices of pop craftsmanship AOL Spinner [US] -‘MP3 Of The Day’ The 405 [UK] - 4 minutes of dreamy, hazy and downright beautiful ambient pop, it features a wordless chorus that will definitely sweep you off your feet. We All Want Someone To Shout For [UK] - absolutely perfect BlahBlahBlahScience [US] - As inventive as it is lovely … a very special track indeed' The Wounded Jukebox [UK] - sugary harmonies and ambient drifting clouds of audio goodness The Music Ninja [US] - His sound has tremendous depth and is thoughtfully crafted

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 UK single ‘Metal Lungs’ (released December 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.
