Our sunny journey begins with LA's new seekers of super love, Lavender Diamond. Their grand declarations of world peace and bold musical actions to bring it about are worthy of trumpet punctuated praise.

This dynamically arranged delight marches along to a steady kick drum and soars as Becky Stark's angelic voice rises on a cloudy chorus and shining strummed strings.
