Nefarious Industries presents Aligned & Vital, the second album from Chicago-based velvet-grunge space rock collective LAVISHER, available November 14th on Ultra Clear 12” vinyl with printed inner sleeve and lyric insert, and 4-panel digipak CD with 8-panel booklet. (LINK IN BIO OR CLICK SHOP!)

Aligned & Vital delivers twelve diverse songs comfortably rooted in both nostalgia and exploration. With a sound that nods to Queens Of The Stone Age and A Perfect Circle, and hints of Deftones and Failure, LAVISHER conjures lush, distorted dreamscapes where beauty and decay meld inside a river of riffage. As LAVISHER continues to carve their niche in the modern rock landscape, their message is clear: the future of heavy, heartfelt rock has arrived - and it’s dressed in velvet.

All music and lyrics for Aligned & Vital were written by Gavin Cushman Ill and Benjamin Standage, except “Way Too Much” written by Andrew Cushman.

Vocals, guitars, bass, and synths were performed by Gavin Cushman Ill - the guitars and bass engineered by Adrian Kobziar at Ohmstead Recording and the vocals engineered by Cushman - and the drums performed by Benjamin Standage and engineered by Pete Grossman at Bricktop Recording. The album was mixed by Adrian Kobziar, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and completed with original artwork/ photography by Puzzleman Leung, portrait photography by Lena Jackson, and design/layout by Greg Meisenberg.

It’s already been one year since we released the video for “Sultry”, the 2nd single from Aligned & Vital (and my personal favorite track from the album 🙇🏻‍♂️)

What ensued after many weeks of planning was two VERY intense days. Spear headed by @girouxfilms, @mtmelzer and rounded out by a hugely talented and loving team, the vision was brought to life and a pretty magical thing was born 🫶🏻
