Lavender Days (PINK AND PURPLE GALAXY SWIRL VINYL)

Description

Lavender Dayswas produced byCaampandBeatriz Artola(Fleet Foxes, Adele, Sharon Van Etten) with additional production byBrad Cook(Snail Mail, Waxahatchee, Indigo De Souza). Initial recording took place at Sylvan Esso’s studio just outside of Durham, NC beginning in February of 2021, where togetherCaampand Cook workshopped the songs and began principal tracking, bringing in friends like Nathaniel Rateliff and Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield to contribute vocals. When it was time to finish the record, the boys headed home to Columbus, OH to wrap it up, with help from Artola, the way they always have, in their humble home studio – just them and their instruments, in their hometown.

Lavender Dayswas written in the aftermath of a period of loss and heartache suffered by Taylor Meier. A great love, a great dog, his livelihood, his sanity…all gone in the same period when touring and every bit of human interaction was taken from him and the rest of the world. It was a humbling experience, and one that placed him firmly back in the spot thatCaampso often writes about – his Midwestern home and the life he lives there in the state of Ohio. It’s the romanticism thatCaampapproaches that simple life with that speaks to their volume of fans and is even further ruminated on inLavender Days. It’s about the in between days – the small pleasures and the forgotten disappointments.
