One of New Zealand’s most acclaimed songwriters returns to releasing music, but in a new way. Feeling strangled by music industry release norms of premieres, deadlines and embargoes on his music, Lawrence Arabia decided to take a step closer to his fans, sending them his new music as he makes it.

Lawrence Arabia has made it to the halfway mark by delivery single no.6.  Introducing 'Cecily', "a light escapist relief from the relentless daily newsreel of horrors". The song features Alistair Deverick (Boycrush) on drums. The rest is all Lawrence Arabia – it's a slice of 60's psychedelic pop infused with that wry offbeat Lawrence Arabia humour.

Fabulous/Arabia are set  to embark on "A Tour Called Henry." They will visit Wellington and Hastings at the end of July for two cathartic nights of mid-winter silliness and unstoppable dancing.
