“The first new music in eight years from Lavender Diamond. It's a thrill to hear” - NPR

“Now Is The Time is Lavender Diamond’s predestined message to the masses to take inventory, slow down, reassess and make change” - American Songwriter

"Filled with songs for healing, dreaming, and seizing a moment and making it better, Now Is the Time speaks to its era — and Lavender Diamond's enduring strengths — eloquently” -Allmusic.com

“Now Is the Time is a stunning collection of baroque pop that delves into issues of healing both nature and humanity” - Audiofemme

"the album weaves acoustic rock, electronic and orchestral pop seamlessly into their own unique sound… now's definitely the time for this soul-soothing, musical magic"
- BUST Magazine

(Four stars) “What we have here is a beautiful piece of work: a collection of songs in a style that might be described as chamber-pop Floating through and above all this is Stark’s remarkable voice, a thing of considerable purity and range” - Financial Times of London

7/0 “ The effect is sometimes like the cool glide of Julee Cruise, set down in more elemental, earthy terrain, and steeped in myth and divinity. At a time of sledgehammer oppression, Stark floats above it like a butterfly” - UNCUT

about

Critically acclaimed art-pop band Lavender Diamond are returning from an 8 year hiatus, with a brand new batch of cosmic love songs of peace - recorded for Petaluma Records. Their celestial, radio friendly sound transcends genre with Becky Stark’s pristine multi-octave voice, soaring arrangements from punk rock multi-instrumentalist/classical composer Steve Gregoropolos and Ron Rege Jr.’s percussion. In today’s divided, crumbling world, the band that Black Book once described as “mind-melting purity that could probably save lives,” seems to have reunited just in time. Forged in a dreamy 2003 Echo Park, while the country was entering into the Iraq War, the band Rolling Stone hailed as “a crystalline soprano showcased against a background of hypnotically rhythmic piano, guitar, and drums,” merged punk-rock doo-wop, folk, opera and a spiritual love of mainstream pop music. Their previous releases have earned them a devoted following, including John Waters, David Byrne, Miranda July and Sia, who directed the band’s video for “Open Your Heart”. They’ve garnered praise in Pitchfork, MOJO, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Paper, SPIN, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Magazine and BILLBOARD and toured with such bands as The Decemberists, Beck, The New Pornographers, Rilo Kiley, & She and Him.

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill. hailhumanists
