The buzz surrounding Lavender Diamond is rather enigmatic.
Becky Stark sings earnestly about hope, love and happiness with the doe-eyed naivete of that annoying perky girl in high school who dotted the letter i with a heart.
Her band dons prom-appropriate attire for live shows, and Stark has invited everyone on her email list to join a worldwide friendship revolution.
It’s exactly as sickeningly sweet as it sounds. This garners fawning in the jaded hipster scene these days?
Dismissing the obvious and quite probable possibility that this embrace is rooted in irony, are we to assume hipsters feel nostalgia for their lost high school years?
It seems Stark’s honey-coated, Nico-esque vocals are sweet enough to accomplish just about anything. (Joshua Valocchi)
