Full Album Stream: Lesotho – “A Flashing on Plain Glass”
Boston‑based instrumental collective Lesotho has dropped its third full‑length, A Flashing on Plain Glass, on March 13. The album delves into themes of impermanence, pairing quiet, introspective passages with sudden, heavy riffs. Tracks such as “Marigold” and “Frail Weapon” showcase dynamic loud‑quiet contrasts, while the title‑track culminates in a two‑minute crescendo before fading out. Lesotho cites personal turmoil and modern chaos as creative fuel, blending classical, pop, and post‑rock elements into a cohesive statement.
