Scheme

Destroyer and Ridalin were recorded during the making of Lotus’s new album to be released this fall.  Working with Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man) and David Wrench (Caribou, Bat for Lashes) the band recorded a large batch of tracks over the last two years.  These are the first recordings from those sessions to be released.

Ridalin’s hip-hop swing, heavy bass and harmonized guitars construct the foundation for guest vocalist Monika Heidemann’s smoky vocals.  Melodies and counter-melodies are passed between guitar, synths and vocals taking Lotus’s signature sound to new places.  Heads will nod, subs will shake.

Instrumental post-rock and electronic dance band Lotus is set to release its third full-length studio album September 13th via SCI Fidelity Records. The self-titled album finds the band moving in a decidedly more electronic direction, while still staying true to their organic roots.  

Analog synthesizers, manipulated sounds, dub effects and heavy bass are balanced by horns and string arrangements in addition to Lotus’s standard guitar/bass/drums instrumentation. Grooves range from slinky funk and gritty half-time on the first half of the album to the beautiful and expansive closing track “Orchids.”

Although bits and pieces of vocals are used throughout, the only song to feature singing is “The Surf.” And while it may be the closest thing to a pop song the band has ever released, the melodic guitar hooks and ecstatic synth are pure Lotus.
