Lapland 's self titled debut album has already prompted The Guardian to call it "album of the year, so far......Burt Bacharach goes chillwave, with some of the aching spaciousness of Thomas Dolby's productions for Prefab Sprout" and the 405 to comment that "The record is sure to kick 2014 off with a bang, if the lead single is anything to go by: 4 minutes of dreamy, hazy and downright beautiful ambient pop"

Lapland 's self titled debut album has already prompted The Guardian to call it "album of the year, so far......Burt Bacharach goes chillwave, with some of the aching spaciousness of Thomas Dolby's productions for Prefab Sprout" and the 405 to comment that "The record is sure to kick 2014 off with a bang, if the lead single is anything to go by: 4 minutes of dreamy, hazy and downright beautiful ambient pop"

Born in a tiny half-bedroom in Brooklyn, where Josh Mease -- who IS Lapland - had always found comfort in the solitude of his own thoughts, often preferring the landscapes within his mind's eye over the bustle of the city that surrounded him.

Perhaps this self-imposed isolation is why Lapland has such an introspective tone. Themes of separation and loss are woven throughout the album, from the percolating electronic gallop of the opening track, "Unwise", to the blue-eyed soul of "Aeroplane", to the acoustic haze and layered harmonies of "Overboard", Mease always keeps things interesting. One can hear the effect of the myriad of music styles and genres that informed Lapland -- early synth pioneers of the 60′s and 70′s, and 1970s staples like Fleetwood Mac.

Mixing styles is not new for Mease. He grew up in Texas where his childhood love of rock and country evolved into studying jazz guitar. After moving to New York, he eventually shifted his focus from playing jazz to singing and writing songs. This transformation gives Mease a unique approach to songwriting, and his work has earned him fans not only in indie circles but also in jazz, R&B, and classical music as well.
