--------- "Dancing Lotus will have you dancing, until your feet hurt" James Wickham - BBC Introducing
--------- "Tracks such as the exotic "Sunset Café", the ska-influenced "Outlaws", and slower tracks "6am" and" Sparks" demonstrate Lotus' musical nouse brilliantly, and illustrate just how disparate their influences are.
--------- "As a result, their music is hard to define, taking elements from blues, hip-hop, folk, and rock, but still sounding individual. A potent combination indeed, and with a set entirely made up of original material, the crowd were left wanting more. The new material would not sound out of place on Radio 1. " The Linc Magazine.
--------- "A cross between gnarles barkley and maroon 5" Jamie Oliver
