Amy O – Lavender Night (Stream)

by Steven Spoerl

Over the past week or so, there have been exceptional songs by the likes of Grizzly Bear, Crumb, Greg Ashley, Les Big Byrd, The Holy Circle, Big Bliss, Carcara, Korey Dane, Munroe,  Trü, Hundredth, Beach Fossils, High Signs, and Nick Cave & Warren Ellis that have surfaced. Those weren’t the only great songs to find release in that time, something proven by Amy O’s winsomely spiky “Lavender Night”.

Energetic, forceful, and masterfully composed, “Lavender Night” continues an unassuming winning streak for the songwriter just as it underscores all of the things Amy O does so well. Drawing from past decades of musical influence to create something that feels familiar yet unique enough to be singular, “Lavender Night” is a melting pot getting thrown across the room at a massive canvas. Once again, Amy O finds a way to stick the landing, creating an absorbing and memorable canvas worth revisiting.
