lavender - juror no. 6

lavender, an emerging producer duo, explores the question: What if Bon Iver were produced by J Dilla?

Meet lavender. This winsome duo, consisting of Oskar Rice and Adam Jackson. Their output so far has been confined to a debut EP which came out right in the middle of the lockdown and another couple of singles that bring their tally so far to less than thirty minutes of music. But that’s about to change with their debut album, we’re having a barn dance, a significant step forward and brilliant distillation of all that made those first releases pop so dramatically. This album is the story of one tumultuous year of living, loving (and the falling out thereof). The songwriting is a diary of an eventful 12 months.

In the band’s own words, “After years of making music together, this album felt like the natural realisation of what lavender could be as a creative outlet and as marriage of instrumentation, sampling and songwriting culminating in something that feels more than the sum of its parts. It’s a deeply personal work, a journey and reflection on transitions of love, home and the duality of companionship/isolation. There are layers upon layers lovingly sewed into this record and we hope it’s an album to live with and one that continues to unravel over time.”

It’s an album that is manifestly ambitious both in its production sound and as songwriters clearly finding greater confidence in their future pathway. As one fan commented on YouTube: “You go. You go and be great. With your lavender.” Hear, hear.
