London-based duo Lavender have released their new album ‘we’re having a barn dance’ in its entirety.
The pair – Oskar Rice and Adam Jackson – have been friends since childhood, bonded by their mutual love for indie songwriting and unconventional electronic production. Their early track ‘peppermint’ gained viral popularity, featuring a smooth, Dilla-inspired groove that was both refreshing and melodically rich.
Following their debut EP, Lavender embarked on a creative journey. The recording sessions for their new album began in the French countryside and were later wrapped up in their London studio, which is situated behind a LIDL in Limehouse, incidentally.
Out now on Night Time Stories, the album showcases their refreshing sound while also enhancing their musical depth.
The songwriting is cohesive, as Lavender utilizes the album's format to delve into a series of connected themes. The duo reflects...
“After years of collaboration, this album represents the natural evolution of what Lavender can be as a creative platform, blending instrumentation, sampling, and songwriting into a whole that surpasses its individual components. It’s a deeply personal project that reflects on the transitions of love, home, and the complexities of companionship versus isolation. There are layers intricately woven into this record, and we hope it becomes an album that one can live with and that continues to unfold over time!”
