lavender

Lavender, the London based duo made up of Adam Jackson and Oskar Rice, give listeners a full visual accompaniment to their two singles “peppermint” and “home:so long.” The songs are a wonderful medley paired with several shots taken by Tom La Motte, capturing everything from walking around the streets to socializing on 16mm film, making the video feel very nostalgic.A textured arrangement, the merging of songs combined with the visual channel manifests a deeper stimulant to the listening experience. Playing into the songs’ visual landscapes of city streets, parks, sunshine, and time with friends, the video evokes longing for a day where participating in the bustle of an unmasked crowd will be a normal indulgence again.It brings up memories yet feels warm with hope for the future, serving our moments from the past with optimism for tomorrow.
