Andrew Keoghan

Andrew Keoghan previews his forthcoming second album, a naturally diverse and changing collection combining a pop sensibility with R&B, electronic and orchestral elements.

Every Orchid Offering is due for release later in the year and is the product of two years of writing and recording between New Zealand and Brooklyn, where Keoghan relocated in 2013.

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.

His follow-up is a collection of 10 songs that seek to make sense of a peripatetic existence between the U.S and New Zealand – in many ways it is a series of vignettes and short stories, some autobiographical, others imagined, but always very personal.

The album features duets with Hollie Fullbrook (Tiny Ruins) and Chelsea Nikkel (Princess Chelsea), along with contributions from some of Keoghan's cohorts from The Ruby Suns, Phoenix Foundation and Lawrence Arabia.
