Lavender, the London based duo made up of Adam Jackson and Oskar Rice, give listeners a full visual accompaniment to their two singles “peppermint” and “home:so long.” The songs are a wonderful medley paired with several shots taken by Tom La Motte, capturing everything from walking around the streets to socializing on 16mm film, making the video feel very nostalgic.
A textured arrangement, the merging of songs combined with the visual channel manifests a deeper stimulant to the listening experience. Playing into the songs’ visual landscapes of city streets, parks, sunshine, and time with friends, the video evokes longing for a day where participating in the bustle of an unmasked crowd will be a normal indulgence again.
It brings up memories yet feels warm with hope for the future, serving our moments from the past with optimism for tomorrow.
