Lavender Diamond – Incorruptible Heart (2012)

Produced by OK Go frontman Damian Kulash Jr. and mixed by longtime Flaming Lips collaborator Dave Fridmann, Incorruptible Heart transforms Becky Stark's songs in the key of cosmic love into their most four-demensional realizations yet. Over two years in the making, Incorruptible Heart's diamond-light shines through its every facet from strings by the Calder Quartet to horn arrangements by longtime Brian Wilson compatriot Probyn Gregory to magical cover art by Lavender Diamond drummer (and graphic novelist) Ron Rege Jr. Turning from soaring electro-pop (''Light My Way'') to distantly showtuney eruptions (''Perfect Love,'') featuring M. Ward on guitar to simple strums, Incorruptible Heart is an extension of a life lived in a beautiful universe, and an album that could only be made by the freest of thinkers. Incorruptible Heart is Lavender Diamond's first release since 2007's Imagine Our Love, and is the first full-length original release on OK Go's record label, Paracadute
