about

“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. Galaxies past cool-but-copyist trips, Lavender
Flu—brothers Chris and Lucas Gunn, Scott Simmons and Ben Spencer—slaughter the trivial in favor
of a newer, deeper, more meaningful sound, indifferent to any path other than their own. Time to
transform, yet again.” —Mitch Cardwell
