'A well-written dream' – NZ Musician Magazine

'Complex, interesting, prematurely nostalgic . . . yet capturing the zeitgeist for his generation' – Elsewhere Music blog
'This underrated artist is a titantic talent' – The Revue.ca
'Smart lyrics, tasteful synth and a distinct New Zealand accent' – The Wild Honey Pie
'Wellington | Te Upoko O Te Ika' is an album that explores one person's interpretation of place. A web app has been created to allow people to listen to the songs in the places they sing about. You can experience Lake South's 'Wellington' now, here: https://lake-south.com/wellington
Instead of physical albums, a set of 11 postcards will be available at live shows. Each postcard represents a song/place/sentiment.
Lake has been long-listed for the Silver Scrolls twice and was a Critics' Choice finalist in the 2014 NZ Vodafone Music Awards.
