“A well-written dream” – NZ Musician Magazine
“Nostalgic, elegiac synth-pop meditations on what it means to be a 20/30-something in modern Aotearoa” – National Library of NZ

‘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.
