For those waiting for a concert experience with the dynamics of a rock band (read: no laptops), the dance inducing rhythms of club music, and the sophistication of modern electronica, an unlikely musical alternative has arrived in the form of the band Lotus. Formed in 1999 at a Mennonite college that had banned on-campus dancing as late as the 1980’s, Lotus has since spawned a massive following of fans.
Lotus’s latest release, Copy Paste Repeat: Lotus Remixed (Nov 2007) collects remixes of tracks from Lotus’s studio albums. Remixers include DFA Records artist Juan Maclean, DJ Harry, Telepath, Skytree, Lotus’s Jesse Miller, and more.
Escaping Sargasso Sea (May 2007) is a double-disc live album that draws from two previous studio albums, Nomad and The Strength of Weak Ties, along with never before released material. From the post/math-rock of “When H Binds to O” to the slippery dance beats of “Wax,” this collection shows Lotus’s ability to deconstruct, stretch, and rebuild their compositions spontaneously on stage. Restraining from flaunting their individual chops, Lotus builds compositions on catchy melodies and heavy grooves.
The five-piece band has creatively fused electronic dance music with instrumental post-rock for eight years. The result is an explosive live show that has made crowds get down across the US, Canada, and Japan. Armed with a massive light rig and one of the most energetic shows on the circuit, Lotus proves why they have become a go-to act for late night festival slots. |
