The Lavender Scare’s new single “Names” is a powerfully hypnotic slice of indie/alternative rock that hits all the feels. This dynamic duo from the City of Angels’ new track is a beautifully melancholic song about transgender rights. The touching lyrics and passionate vocal delivery are matched by a stunning collection of twangy guitar licks and uncanny-sounding drums. No really, every cymbal hit and guitar stroke echo throughout the song. The fuzzed-out bass/guitar crescendo at the end feels like it’s rumbling in your soul. “Names” is a moody, yet uplifting tune that needs to be heard to be believed.
