Indie-pop space cadet Lukas Mayo in a favourite spot. “My favourite Beatle is Yoko,” they say.
This really is perfect. Because Mayo, who identifies as gender non-binary and uses the pronouns they/them, is an indie-pop space cadet.
“My songs will often have a lot of ideas swirling around,” admits Mayo, drinking coffee in their car outside a Christchurch cafe. “Memories, complaints, you know… hopes and dreams and things I’m grateful for.”
I am grateful for Mayo. As soon as I heard them proclaim “my favourite Beatle is Yoko” in their early single
Bicycle Weather, I became a fan, which is why I coughed up for this fetching T-shirt.
