The Latin name of lavender is Lavare, which means "to wash", due to its particularly pleasant aroma. While other benefits include digestion, urine flow and it's effectiveness as a bug repellant, it's the calming properties of the flowering plant that are found on the 'Ultra Lavender' mix of CS + Kreme's "Roast Ghost".The Melbourne duo of Conrad Standish (Standish/Carlyon) and Sam Karmel (F fingers) team up again for some lush ambient pop that washes over you like essential oils in a 60-minute full body massage.Taken from a forthcoming split cassette on Dutch label Wichelroede, that will include a B-side from Vancouver-via-Kaifeng resident Yu Su, the track flows with lush synth, hushed vocals and easy going percussion. This is new age music for Smith Street.
The CS + Kreme and Yu Su split will be available in May on Wichelroede
