Lavender Diamond’s Becky Stark, like good friend Devendra Banhart, muses about God, mortality and, as you’ll hear on her debut, love of the hippy dippy, trees-are-my-friend kind. Her songs are less cluttered than Banhart’s surreal rambling, but no less beguiling. She pitches her earthy vocals, which, at a push, are reminiscent of Joan Baez and Karen Carpenter, to a spinning backdrop of dramatic piano, folk-funk (‘Like An Arrow’) and almost Joni Mitchell-esque acoustic mellowness.
