Tucked away about halfway through Lavender Diamond’s “Incorruptible Heart” is probably the most surprising song on the L.A. quartet’s sophomore album. “Light My Way” is a hopeful synth-pop number that’s a couple shades brighter than the gorgeous but lovelorn chamber-folk on the album. Of course, Becky Stark has a way of making sad sound like it’s full of possibilities. Makes you want to dance in the shadow of a Long Beach oil refinery, right?
