Music Shit / Lavender Flu - Admiration For A Dancer
« on: October 27, 2019, 07:52:43 AM »
Radically different new Lavender Flu album, Admiration For A Dancer available now. Spontaneous jams captured without everyone even aware they were being recorded. Everything was improvised on the spot and there are no guitars: just synth, drums, synth percussion and some bass. It was all recorded live to 1 microphone and nearly all of it on a Sunday afternoon in January 2019. Edited by Scott Simmons. Mastered by Justin Higgins. Edition of 275 numbered copies on MEDS.
$20 postage paid in the US via Paypal to: paypal.me/lavenderflu
Unfortunately, it's $40 for overseas orders.
Also available to stream or download at https://thelavenderflu.bandcamp.com/album/admiration-for-a-dancer

The Lavender Flu - Heavy Air
Double LP on MEDS (IX)
Heavy Air is a 30 song puzzle / map masterminded by Chris Gunn (The Hunches, Hospitals). Recorded on analog tape machines over a period of years and outside of the genre concentration camps. A home recording project approached completely open to experimentation but in love with songs. Like Terrence Malick's Tree Of Life remade by the ghost of Phillip K. Dick; projecting sounds as images inside your head. It's extremely psychedelic and dense with layers and layers yielding new secrets with each listen. Songs / melodies / lyrics appear and reappear as half remembered dreams or reconstructed memories. It's a circuitous path through pop songs ("My Time", "Those That Bend" - with a Waterloo Sunset vibe), blasted rockers ("Fingers Like Wounds"), beautiful instrumentals ("Feel The Ground", "Telepathic Axe"), fractured folk ("Between The Trees"), weirder experimental songs ("Vacuum Creature", "La-Bas"), straight up fried epics ("Transcendental Hangover") plus a few covers in the mix including a maximal / minimal take on The Godz mantra-like ode to sun worship and a Townes Van Zandt tune that is derailed by a massive panic attack. Traces of Big Star, Royal Trux, Brian Eno, Meat Puppets II, American Beauty are in the DNA but The Lavender Flu is its own beast.
While it is obviously insane to release a double album debut in the current no-attention-span era, it is the only way. Put in the time, you will be rewarded. This is one of those rare double albums that isn't overripe or padded with mediocrity. All killer, no filler! Super dynamic pressing! Completely insane on headphones! Recorded by Chris at home with lots of help from Justin Higgins (of Old Standard Sound), Lucas Gunn (The Blimp), Scott Simmons (Exiled Records, Helen), Ben Spencer (The Hunches), Adam Stonehouse (The Hospitals), Hart Gledhill (The Hunches), Spencer Clark and others. Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk. Lacquers cut at Ardent (Big Star) by Jeff Powell on the old Stax Lathe. Vinyl cut at Quality Records. Edition of 500 copies.

Saw that this was already posted in the upcoming shows arena, but in case you missed it here's a link to a few Lavender Flu songs on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/thelavenderflu
The album itself has experienced several setbacks (including shitty test pressings and an accidentally destroyed lacquer) but should be out one of these days soon... hopefully...
