The Californian band Lavender Blush since its beginning in 2016 managed to release some material but the new album, The Garden of Inescapable Pleasure, is what they call their long play debut.
As they are accustomed to, the album was produced by them at home and this is one of the pillars of their music. After all, they describe their own music as "noise pop group devoted to home recording, atmospherics, and analog warmth". The DIY factor clearly adds to the overall atmosphere of this noise pop release that draws from everything that's situated between bedroom pop and shoegaze. And the dominant slowcore pace makes the guitar sound in a monumental way.
The album is opened by the catchiest track I'm in Love, but this is being catchy in a Slowdive or Spiritualized way - more likely an atmospheric music than pop enthusiasm . And it works. Sometimes the artists can get louder and so the final of Piper is made of very rock guitars in post-rocking climate. But it's always balanced by the vocals - dispersed and heavenly. As a good dream pop should.
The Garden of Inescapable Pleasure costs 7 USD.
