Lavender Diamond front woman Becky Stark may have made the cheeriest breakup record ever, but that’s how it goes in fairyland, where even at its achiest, busted love has a silver lining. On her third full-length album (Paracadute, $15) the neo-folk siren’s ethereal vocals float over heartbreak ballads, some intimate, some anthemic. Every time the mood threatens to grow a little too fey, she anchors the songs with a voice as bright as sunlight.
Incorruptible Heart is available today.
