Botany - 'Lava Diviner (Truestory)' [LP stream]

True story: you can stream the plant-loving Texan producer's debut album in full right now.

Pretty much everything that Texan producer Botany has put out has perked our attention so far: be it with the dark intricacy of Simple Creatures, Quatic's irresistible bounce, or when he's beckoning you down cavernous paths with Anchor. Fortunately, the intriguingly titled 'Lava Diviner (Truestory)' – out on solid Austin imprint Western Vinyl next week – doesn't belie that early promise.

While there's nothing particularly revolutionary about what Botany crafts – there's plenty of the soft '70s sonics in an 'Until The Quiet Comes' vein here – the Texan posses a production palette that's a cut above most. There's something strangely familiar in Celeste's string and guitar work, while closer Birdlife takes its sweet time to flourish to full effect. A landscape of dreamy textures and reconfigured romance well worth three quarters of an hour of your time. Stream it below, and out to Dazed Digital for the premiere.
