THE LAVENDER FLU

Cosmic biker rock from ex-members of the late, great Portland band, The Hunches.

”The Lavender Flu’s sidewinding 2016 debut Heavy Air is a headphone masterpiece of deconstructed rock ’n’ roll. Thirty songs deep and 76 minutes long, the album re-introduced ex-Hunches guitarist Chris Gunn to the world as a visionary tinkerer who could transform dissociative head trips into warm and weird sonic bliss. In the years since recording Heavy Air, Gunn’s erstwhile studio project has cohered into a proper quartet consisting of the Blimp’s Lucas Gunn, Hunches drummer Ben Spencer, and Eat Skull alumnus Scott Simmons. Given his band’s skill at riding country-tinged lilts into full-blown psych freakouts and vice versa, Gunn’s invitation can and will lead anywhere: a verdant clearing, a freshly filled grave, a glittering ocean, a miasmic swamp.” - Portland Mercury
