"...in some magical meeting place of syncopated rhythms and meandering melodies, Lapse meets. The passionate vocals, female and male; droning acoustic guitar; and lonesome lyrics give this New Zealand outfit undeniable appeal."
- The Editors, Cnet music download
Lapse is a New Zealand Songwriter who writes, records, produces and distributes his own original music independently.

Lapses' sound has been influenced by and compared to artists like...
David Bowie
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
Tori Amos
Jeff Buckley

"A lot of artists are obsessed and quite satisfied with
sounding like pale imitations of already established acts. If you are into bands that are carbon-copies of other bands...then you won't like Lapse."
"...Lapse has consequently developed a mature depth to his music which resonates on a wide variety of levels with a wide variety of audiences. The well-crafted songs have an integrity and an original demeanor that although idiosyncratic, can only come from a tenacious belief and desire to deliver music of a certain calibre."
