Wednesday 07.18.07: OUTFEST presents LAVENDER DIAMOND

Lavender Diamond || Listen
“In the song ‘Garden Rose,’ on Lavender Diamond’s first full-length, Becky Stark sings, ‘I started to remember how to live in present time.’ Odd, since Stark seems thoroughly anti-modern. With her crystalline, beautiful voice and thrift-store style, she harks back at least to original folk chanteuses like Joni Mitchell, if not further to 1920s Broadway songbirds. Imagine Our Love is certainly unlike anything that’s ever been on Matador: I don’t think there is a plugged-in guitar on any of the album’s twelve tracks. But what’s electric — and what makes the album so successful — is that voice of Stark’s and the purely positive worldview she emotes through it.” – Prefix Mag
