LAVENDER FLU (ex-The Hunches) “are 2 Scots and a Scott playing that Hummingbird Sound. Interdimensional Gresh expression fueled by gray whales, El Catrin, inverse owls, Silvina Ocampo, Siri 23, Orenco Butte, Raffaella Carra and the haunted ocarina.
“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

Sirens ring out, trains rumble underfoot, and the wind gusts in a wall of clouds...Places Of Interest tries to channel early-Rough Trade & Revolver-like sounds with the city of San Francisco as its focal point. Songs about intersections, parks, and donut shops put this lo-fi indie rock album on a map.
