Unveiling the essence of community and exploration, The Ophelias return with Crocus, their stunning new LP. Following the success of their 2018 album Almost, this indie rock quartet, now spread across New York and Ohio, has crafted a record that resonates with both vulnerability and experimentation.
Crocus was recorded in a 2000 percent haunted Masonic lodge, where the band’s creative energy flourished under the guidance of engineer John Hoffman. This unique setting allowed them to delve into darker tones and complex song structures, resulting in an album that weaves together personal truths and communal spirit. Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful track “Neil Young on High,” featuring lush harmonies from Julien Baker, and the infectious energy of “Spitting Image,” where Gutmann Fuentes showcases her violin prowess.
The Ophelias invite listeners to navigate the delicate space between mourning and memory, encapsulated in Peppet’s poignant lyrics. Crocus is not just an album; it’s a journey through the emotional landscapes of life, making it one of the best indie rock vinyl albums to buy.
