Our Take

The latest offering from Portland-based psych-rock outfit Lavender Flu is a wild ride through the untamed landscapes of Dustin British English's mind. Barbarian showcases the band's signature blend of raw energy and unapologetic weirdness, with each track delivering a punch of sonic chaos that is as exhilarating as it is unpredictable.

From the opening guitar riff of "Savage Sword" to the haunting vocals of "Hellfire on Earth," British English's distinct voice cuts through the noise with a sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore. The band's experimental approach to songwriting is on full display here, with layers of distortion and feedback creating a cacophony of sound that is both disorienting and oddly cathartic.

Tracks like "Dragon Slayer" and "Blood Moon" veer into darker territory, with eerie synth lines and frenzied drumming adding a sense of foreboding to the already intense atmosphere. But just when things start to feel too heavy, Lavender Flu expertly balances the scales with moments of pure, unabashed joy, like the infectious groove of "Barbarian King" and the shimmering beauty of "Crystal Lake."

Overall, Barbarian is a triumph of sonic exploration and creative expression, showcasing Lavender Flu at the height of their powers. With its kaleidoscopic tapestry of sounds and emotions, this album is a must-listen for anyone craving a musical journey that is equal parts exhilarating and mind-bending. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be swept away by the wild and wonderful world of Lavender Flu.
