DESCRIPTION:
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.
