“‘Pristine
Dream’ is about the very moment the illusion of love fades and you realize
the picture you held in your mind, is not the reality,” says Mortar & Pestle singer Janaysa Lambert about the latest single
from the Oakland-based trio’s debut EP, out next week on the Post Primal label. “Pristine
Dream” has premiered exclusively via BlackBook
magazine here. Mortar
& Pestle will play a record release show at The Uptown in Oakland on May 10th, to be followed by
dates in the Northwest and San Francisco. See below for a complete itinerary.
Mortar &
Pestle is a new band, but has deep
roots. The sounds of a pinball machine
at the opening of new EP might say fun, but give way to a darkness that is
real. Born on the kitchen piano of a
studio apartment, days after Lambert
and keyboardist Paul Shinichi first
met at a mutual friend’s party, the two were joined within the year by drummer Sean Paul Duke.
Tragically, the friend who brought them together met
with an untimely death shortly after she gave the band its name. “She wanted to be the one to name us,” says Shinichi. “We were struggling with a name
for months, and then she came up with Mortar
& Pestle. I think honoring her life is one reason why we are together.
This record is really about her.” Members
of Mortar & Pestle are available
for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
