'If anything, it reminds
me of David Bowie’s similarly genreless ★ or the work of Kirin J Callinan, but possessed by an exquisite
chamber-pop grace befitting Grizzly Bear or Dirty Projectors. This is a
gorgeous piece of music' –-
Stereogum
Following up from his lauded first single which premiered on Stereogum in
January, Andrew Keoghan will deliver his second album Every Orchid Offering July
29, independently on Fuchsia Kick.

The L.P is a collection of
10 songs that seek to make sense of a peripatetic existence between New Zealand
and New York, where Keoghan relocated in 2013. It's a series of personal
vignettes about transience, sexuality, conceived gender roles, commitment, lust
and modern reincarnation, combining a pop sensibility with contemporary
R&B, electronic and orchestral elements.
The urbane, provocative artwork was conceived by Tracy Maurice, Canada's Juno
Award-winning artist behind the now-iconic hand and quill of
Arcade Fire's Funeral and
co-design of their sophomore Neon
Bible.
The video for the first single Stuck
in Melodies transports the audience to a pastel hell dreamscape
inspired by ‘90s computer graphics, pop art and the song's themes of
interrelationship detachment and nostalgic comfort.
The second video for the song Queues
at Dani Keys, due for release later this month, is a
gender-bending nod to the 'new romantic' videos of the eighties.
The album features duets with Hollie
Fullbrook (Tiny Ruins) and Chelsea Nikkel (Princess Chelsea),
along with contributions from some of Keoghan's other cohorts from The Ruby Suns, The Phoenix Foundation and Lawrence Arabia.
Keoghan's 2011 debut Arctic
Tales Divide was a finalist for the New Zealand Taite Prize and
named The New
Zealand Herald’s Top Local Album that year.
