In the meantime, you can kick back, relax, and soak up its latest release.īloom & Recede is available Friday, August 26. "Even though they're new to the world, we've been sitting on them for a bit."Ĭolorado will be able to see Lotus in action, demonstrating its new material during a two-night run at Mishawaka Amphitheatre on September 9 and 10. So we were kind of anxious to start working on new stuff," Miller explains. "We wrote these songs for way back in 2020. On November 19th, UMe and Eagles Of Death Metal’s Jesse Boots Electric Hughes join forces to gift us all with Eagles of Death Metal Presents A Boots Electric Christmas, a six track EP on digital and CD that’s sure to bring much needed holiday cheer to the ears and hearts of every little girl and boy. The band is already working on its next album. We're listening to them a lot to see if they sound repetitive to us then we'll try to change something." But then just working over and over to get variety. So I think that kind of gives these subtle through-lines to the album. "Going through the songs, I realized I use the same four chords a lot through the album, but they're always in a different order. "There are these threads that connect," Miller notes.

When it comes to instrumental music, though, the tough part about compiling an album is making sure each song is unique. When I listen to it, there's this joyful feeling, but there's a little bit of a dark undercurrent that kind of sneaks."Īnd with Lotus's inarguable technical, almost machine-like acumen - the kind that made a friend remark at Red Rocks that this would be the group to play an Apple headquarters New Year's Eve party - the band intricately balances those brooding undertones with fast-paced percussion and soaring guitar.

But then I feel like some of the walk-down melancholy snuck in there. "Let's try to make something that's joyful and energetic, because it was hard to gin that up at the time. "There was kind of an escapism," he explains. The album was made during the pandemic, and Miller says that its overall sound was almost responding to that dire time.

Father, come and lay the demon to rest.” 3. When I'm about to fall, please help me stand. When my sword has broken off in my hand, I see the dark futility of the flesh.
