Los Angeles Indie-pop act Lavender Diamond have unveiled their new single “Turn Around.”
The track, which can be heard below, stems from the digital re-release of the act’s recent studio album Now Is The Time. When it comes to the track, Lavender Diamond vocalist Becky Stark said:
“This song is about reversal - the experience of finding the end - of being in the free fall of loss and despair - and that end point being a beginning through the turning. When we were making the record I didn’t think this song should be part of it, but sometime after we were finished I realized it was my favorite one. It had seemed so raw that I couldn’t bear it. But isn’t that the way? It can feel impossible to see the beauty in what is full of pain - but new joy can be created and found in the turn around.”
The digital re-release of Now Is The Time is out now on Petaluma Records. The album is the follow-up to Lavender Diamond’s 2012 release Incorruptible Heart.
