Andrew Keoghan – Every Orchard Offering
‘Every Orchard Offering’ 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.
Immaculate baroque pop craftsmanship combined with Keoghan’s enchanting vocals helped make this the top local album of the year’ – The New Zealand Herald, 2011
‘Arctic Tales Divide shows Keoghan to be a spectacular talent whose art pop straddles genres, building an elaborate studio concoction where his multi-instrumentalism is used to best advantage’ – Metro
‘I can’t remember when I last heard a local debut more assured or sophisticated as this one’ – Nick Bollinger, Radio New Zealand National
