With a name that hints at color and nature, Lylak makes a point to play with heart and leave the stage a bit more beautiful than they found it.

Interweaving vocals, from Gideon Maki (vox/guitar) and Elizabeth Varnado (vox/violin/guitar), present approachable lyrics which explore the lighter and darker aspects of life and love, memory and friendship.

Dynamic guitar licks catch the ear while swelling synths, moody violin, and intricate rhythms (Paul Varnado, bass/synth; Jesse Hornbeack, drums) color the background.

Lylak released it’s debut full-length on 8/26/2022:

The ten songs that make up "Inconvenient Truce" share a narrative of confronting tensions in life that ultimately lead to a greater appreciation for living. We chose the word 'Inconvenient' because we wanted to highlight the disruption this kind of work can cause in our daily dealings. Whether it's a relationship, a memory or an addiction prone habit there is often a time of reflection where we can shake hands in compromise or live in complacency - here's to shaking hands.
