Llarks – Like A Daydream LP

Like A Daydream is the new full-length by Llarks and follows the 2017 cassette album “Reflections”, and the “Metallic Summer Sea” single sided cassette ep. (both will be repressed on vinyl later this year)

There is a singular focus and understated sense of joy to this collection of songs (and yes, they are indeed songs). The opening lullaby-like melody of Prismfall eventually gives way to echoing waves of guitar swells. The song hangs around just long enough to immerse you, while also leaving you wanting more. We cue to the next song “Hollows” which sounds like an orchestra playing everything in reverse until the cascades of chords settle into a whining drone that floats and hovers. And so it continues throughout the album. As always, the guitar remains ever present as the melodies roll, drift and undulate like clouds. This new album follows Llarks well received set at the Tonalism stage at Bonnaroo festival which Rolling Stone Magazine called “Best Place To Chill”, Bonnaroo 2018: 31 Best Things We Saw

Like A Daydream is a perfectly titled LP and an invitation into a lovely sound-world. Step in and spin.
