Lemonade Shoelace aims to load up the senses with colour, rich melodies and textures of sound that embrace the last 50 years of popular music. The tracks are written, recorded and produced entirely in a small home studio by one person, delivered in a classic yet futuristic style. This is the project of 25 year old Ruairí Richman, a graduate of the BIMM institute in Dublin and a native of Newcastle, Co. Down, Ireland.
Ruairí was born just as ‘Moon Safari’ by the electronic French duo <a href="spotify:artist:1P6U1dCeHxPui5pIrGmndZ" data-name="Air">Air</a> was released. His parents loved it and so it was the mesmeric soundtrack to his childhood. Later he discovered that the album had also been a formative influence on Kevin Parker, the founder of <a href="spotify:artist:5INjqkS1o8h1imAzPqGZBb" data-name="Tame Impala">Tame Impala</a> . For Ruairí, this was further confirmation that his own music should be futuristic, soulful and psychedelic.
When he was growing up, he had images of <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2" data-name="The Beatles">The Beatles</a> on his wall – the vivid, solarised prints by Richard Avedon. When his mother saw the recent press shots of Lemonade Shoelace, she saw the connection straight away.
“I’m getting there gradually,” Ruairí declares. “You can’t stop the flow.”
Lemonade Shoelace's electric live shows have been wonderfully experienced by people as far as Mexico, North America, Sweden and London, opening for artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:6Ad91Jof8Niiw0lGLLi3NW" data-name="YUNGBLUD">YUNGBLUD</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1LeVJ5GPeYDOVUjxx1y7Rp" data-name="Unknown Mortal Orchestra">Unknown Mortal Orchestra</a>. These songs will steal the hearts of music lovers of all tastes, by uniquely twisting pop into a kaleidoscopic adventure for the ears.
