Mousey Announces 'Lemon Law' Album Release Tour

Ōtautahi pop-bop songwriter and 2019 Silver Scroll shortlister Mousey (Serena Close) has crept up out of nowhere with three stunner singles all in a row, and a debut album Lemon Law in the works - and now her very first New Zealand tour. The list of shows is a doozy too, with nine local dates, three in Australia, and a six-piece band in tow. The first three Lemon Law singles have almost felt like Close proving her chops, each one tackling and nailing a different vibe, from the upbeat twee-pop of 'Extreme Highs' to the bubbling anger in 'If You Really Loved Me'. Catch Mousey and band in the flesh on tour this October, see her in the Going Global lineup, or head along to one of their shows supporting The Beths. Tour details here…

Mousey's debut album 'Lemon Law' is out Friday 4th October.

Press release:

One of the most exciting new acts in New Zealand music, Mousey, has just announced her first-ever nationwide tour to celebrate the release of her debut album, LEMON LAW, due for release on October 4.

Mousey and her six-piece band will kick off the nine-date tour in Raglan on October 4; winding up in Akaroa on October 24.

Mousey writes with her own unique sense of melody, emotionally raw sincerity and cherishes the art of songwriting above all else. Inspired by artists like Radiohead, Regina Spektor and Sufjan Stevens, she endeavours to be as honest as them.

The tour marks an exciting milestone for Mousey, who emerged earlier this year with the song ‘Extreme Highs’. The song earned her a top 20 nomination at the prestigious Silver Scroll Awards, which will be held at Spark Arena in Auckland on October 2.

‘Extreme Highs’ has a memorable melody, great guitar playing, and relatable lyrics. Recommended to watch out for if you love fellow Cantabrian Jed Parsons and pop rockers The Beths - Radio New Zealand

Mousey went on to release several more tracks from her upcoming album LEMON LAW, including the exquisite ‘Take Me To Harley Street’ and the heart-wrenching ‘If You Really Love Me’. She will soon release a fourth single from the record, ‘A Lifelong Pursuit’ (September 20).

Catch Mousey AKA Sarena Close and her band - Chris Close on drums; Dave Cloughley on bass; Terence O'Connor on guitar; Cam Finlay on Keys/Percussion/ BVs and Clare Manson on BVs) and her band.
