***"Mixed with a firm lock on disorientation and guided by the inspiration of James Yancey and The Upsetter, Tomorrow Cleaners sounds like it was left in the sun and melted all over the rocks and into the ocean.?! This is basically the 'lost' 2nd album (put on hold due to malfunctioning equipment ) and it is somewhat of a return to the alien underwater vibe of Heavy Air.?! After an arduous process of casting spells, reverse engineering the enemy and acquiring the necessary equipment, this was completed in quarantine and the tapes were mastered direct to lacquer.?! Illuminate your future.?! Maximal hallucinatory states await.?! "—MEDS.?! Limited edition of 500 copies..?!

“In contrast to their prior mobile-unit hole-ups and home-taped fryers, Barbarian Dust, the third album from Lavender Flu, marks the band’s first raid of a proper studio.?! Extending the formalities further, the conceptual impetus for the sessions stems from a collective meditation on cosmic biker rock.?! Smokey, sure—and that peculiar, chunky ether seeps into the resulting collection—but it all ultimately serves to a liquid frame, a set of parameters imposed purely to burst through. Compositionally and thematically, Barbarian Dust alternates between hope and anger, each idealized, a sway thoughtfully achieved through an often-soaring, occasionally busted version of rock heaviness (without ever approaching ‘Heavy Rock’, thank heaven / hell).?! In every sense of the word, it’s their most aggressive work to date.“Barbarian Dust collects songs that move in and out of wobble and explosion, each pushing forever forward, just as the composers themselves do.?!

The new Lavender Flu album Mow The Glass was recorded in the living room of a small house on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.?! One can hear it in the music: the Oregon coast, the dream life of an Axolotl, the open sound of a band playing to an audience of endless water, sun, and sky. A bald eagle flew by the window every few hours as if to remind the band where they really were.?! Still, the laughter was real, the freedom was magic, and the tambo was sprinkled like sugar.?! Heavy Air, the previous album, was a home recording project.?! The songs started with Chris Gunn (The Hunches) on a guitar or a synth or a bowl of cereal and were built up from there.?! A rotating cast of friends and family helped flesh out the material.?! It could have been made in deep space or at the bottom of the ocean.?! Transmissions from a bedroom at the bottom of Pill Hill.?! This new album is a reflection of the live experience.?!
